I think this definition of a troll is as good as any. it comes of course courtesy of Terry Pratchett from Gd Tak Gar ( the things that Tak wrote) in the book Thud.
" But some of the living spirit of Tak was trapped in the broken stone egg, and it became the first troll, wandering the world unbidden and unwanted, without soul or purpose, learning or understanding. fearful of light and darkness it shambles for ever in twilight, knowing nothing, learning nothing, being nothing."
I myself have been accused of being a troll and I know that Daz has had this accusation thrown at him more times than I have had hot dinners as the saying goes.
In my case I think the accusation was unjustified. The person that accused me was baptised in the riverJordan Tyne which tends to pong if the wind is in the wrong direction. But as they say in Whor Toon it takes one to know one.
As for Daz I believe the jury is still out on that one. ;D
