    Troll is someone who disagrees with your point of view. giveaway is what you do when someone answers your question. The other I leave alone.

    Lets see if I can add to decon's answers:Troll a person who's motive is to cause arguments completly turn members against each other.And they usually come in under a bogus name and back out when people start ignoreing them.


    The give aways are from very generous members who want to give something away.A pretty nice thing to do and alot of good folk do it.Some do it just to be generous others do it as a quiz type question,what ever their reason their just plain good folk.I think you will like it here.

    Best!!

    An example of trolling is asking why the "North Whupped the South", "How do I get out of a 100 mph speeding ticket", "Why do they make Harleys so dang cheap" or ".223 if my favorite deer rifle". Any of these topics will surely get you a rise from the forum. SO if you like stirring the hornets nest, then you are a troll.[}:)]

    troll = a person whos sole purpose it to disrupt this sight. to cause trouble, cast aspersions, lie, and behave in a disrespectful manner, often with a total disregard for the posted rules, or the feelings of others.

    According to the above, this place is swarming with trolls, a regular trollfest.[:)]

    Hmmm...!

    Troll: A word someone who is extremely sensitive uses when their wit is exhausted (if no wit exists, it's usually used in their first sentence in a post/reply).

    Onager: A word derived from the Nunnery Thesaurus

    __________ giveaway: Something that is sent to me if it's worth having.

    It should not have to come to that but some people can not or will not engage in conversation or debate with out insulting others. When you start insulting, you have ran out of original ideas and feel the need to fall back on the days when you were in kindergarten. Say what you mean and mean what you say, just my opinion, Don.
