I agree Bob. There's a difference between a troll and someone simply
having fun. For that reason I wouldn't put Emerson or Trout in the
troll category either. In all actuality the word troll should be viewed
as a verb rather than a noun. To troll means trying to hook posters
(the way a fisherman trolls for fish) to elicit some sort of invariably
negative reaction. The proper term really should be 'troller'. Now
while Amy's definition of a troll being someone who "feeds on
stirring the pot & eliciting heated replies" is something I can agree
with, I don't see any such malice in 'Bobby'. I tend to
personally refer to Emersons, Trouts and Bobbys as 'mascots'
myself.
