I'm sure we all have our, um, non-productive hobbies and forms of entertainment. A well done troll [which, I admit, is somewhat rare] is a bit of an art, and can be rather entertaining to watch. Of course there's the other, much larger, category of posters (sometimes confused with trollers): the lazy, ignorant whingers. Apart from being much more common, they're also much less entertaining to everybody except the ranting flamer.

It would mean Python loses popularity and our work is all in vain. Prepare yourself for the worst, Christmas holidays are near! The fading day light usually increased the amount of troll posts.

You just got 10 points ;-) Fighting trolls begets a troll. Skip not you, i have so much respect for you :) What really is a troll? Someone who does not agree with you? Someone you don't like? Someone you do like? All good questions. I think this whole troll calling business has gotten out of hand. Some people may antagonize you, but who is ultimately to blame for that? I guess we could have this set up were certain people could be banned, would you like that. Or maybe you should just ignore that which bothers you. If someone came to this group and said Ruby rules! Python sucks eggs! I would not even bother to reply. But do not let yourself be closed minded and think your ways are alway right. I have learned a lot from people here and have disagreed with a lot of opinions here. Troll calling is childish. be more open minded than that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: I always wonder ...
What really is a troll? *troll* /v.,n./ [From the Usenet group *alt.folklore.urban news:alt.folklore.urban*] To utter a posting on Usenethttp://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon_36.html#TAG1882designed to attract predictable responses or flame http://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon_21.html#TAG642s. Derives from the phrase trolling for newbiehttp://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon_29.html#TAG1245s which in turn comes from mainstream trolling, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. Some people claim that the troll is properly a narrower category than flame bait http://www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon_21.html#TAG643, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
