There are many people who come here and stir up trouble. We at CC commonly refer to them as "trolls".
However, most of them are pretty easy to spot and to expose. I always thought that, according to Internet rules, a troll was someone who comes into a forum to cause trouble, but is very stealth (not heavy-handed) about his/her approach. Concern trolls, for instance, are REALLY difficult to detect sometimes.
I posted this due to the now-closed thread where someone came in pretending to be Christ (the "I AM" thread). This person was painfully obvious about causing trouble and dissension; would that person qualify as a troll? Or something else entirely?
Just curious........
