Patel126: Your English has certainly improved from your first posts here in October.
You got a different ID on eBay, I guess?

What is a troll?
Here is one definition, from http://www.trollalert.com:
The common Usenet definition: Somebody who is "trolling" (as in fishing) for someone to take the bait. People who take the bait will become engaged in an exchange with the troll while those who recognize a troll in action may simply sit back and "enjoy" the action.
Many trolls say they serve to "lighten up" Usenet.
Some trolls profess they promote freedom of speech, tolerance, and variety of discussion.
Others simply believe Usenet is a place of "anarchy" and intend to be "anarchists."
We believe trolls generally fall in one of three categories:
Mischievous: Humorous intent, not abusive. Could be a "regular" who changes names to play a good-natured prank.
Malicious: Intending to be disruptive or hurtful. May be somebody who opposes a particular view, belief, or lifestyle and attempts to be disruptive in that group's newsgroup. Could also be someone who's a sociopath, or somebody who's previously had a confrontation in the group.
Mindless: Often a juvenile who is "having fun" at others' expense. Could also be somebody new to Usenet who believes they're "anonymous" and is role playing Or "having fun."
The last two groups include long-time trolls, some of whom are part of a group or "brotherhood." They might be best likened to online gang members who seek to impress others of the gang or become part of "troll history" or a "troll legend."
There is a fourth category -- Magistrates: Generally, these are people who've been online for some time and recognize a pattern of behaviour in a newsgroup and take action to address it. For example, one person may be dominant (an "alpha male," if you wish), attempting to control the group. A "magistrate" may appear and assault the alpha male--for the purpose of instilling a little humility. Or a "magistrate" might confront mailicious trolls. Some of these "magistrates" visit a variety of newsgroups, keeping an eye on events.
The best advice for handling trolls: Ignore them, use a filter. Deny them what they seek: provoking others. If they can't find the attention they seek, they'll usually leave to seek better fishing elsewhere.

I gotta say TROLL, your plan backfired, because all of these posters supported each other, rather then starting a religion bashing slugfest.
Gotta read tha feedback.
My favorite:
This crack smokin' weed monkey is chargin' me 6$ for shipping on 2 ounces!?

nofishing,
Your post was deleted because it borderlined on hate language towards a specific religious group which is against the CG's.

meya, thanks for that interesting article. I'm glad I got to read it before it got zapped by the moderators for copyright infringement.
patel126, sorry this has happened to you. If I were in your shoes I'd start over with a new ID. Don't even email back the harasser--it might provoke him even more.
nofishing, watch what you say please.
Amazing how all this Christmas stuff is considered offensive--like the wreaths, lights, trees, etc. Most of that stuff has pagan roots!
