Going on the basis this is an honest question, per Wikipedia:
Quote:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
Trolling is a violation of the implicit rules of Internet social spaces and is often done to inflame or invite conflict.
The difficulty inherent in monitoring trolling and maintaining freedom of speech in online communities: "harassment often arises in spaces known for their freedom, lack of censure, and experimental nature." The broadly accepted ethic of free speech may lead to tolerance of trolling behavior, further complicating the members' efforts to maintain an open yet supportive discussion area, especially for sensitive topics .
If it wasn't an honest question, it's trolling.

It's really quite a noble endeavor of yours, to try to be the first member to ever have EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR THREADS consigned to Troll Country.
I would like to help!
