It is a bad thing. Trolls are people who intentionally try to start
problems and arguments in lists. For example, coming into an Ubuntu
forum posing as a new user so clueless and helpless with a problem then
making some "innocent" statement about how much Ubuntu sucks. Then they
sit back and watch people insult each other and bitch a moan for days in
long threads that boil down to ego stroking and territory marking.

It only takes one message.
I'm not saying the OP was a troll. I was giving you a definition (or
rule of thumb for recognition)...feel free to google what an internet
troll is.
