Don't sell yourself short, Herbie.
Nobody does the troll like you.
Troll: "One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.
'Disruption? It's you and John Smith - and often Karnal - who arrive in a thread to disrupt, derail, and distract beyond repair the flow of conversation that others were embarked upon and enjoying before your arrival.
'Argument'?
As in 'the exchange of viewpoints'?
The 'arguments' nearly always take the shape of persistent
ad hominem conducted by you, John Smith, Aussie, and occasionally Karnal. Pillow-fighting, bun-throwing, and ankle-biting that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic under discussion.
These Punch-and-Judy Shows sometimes go on for pages, with a *biff* from you, and then a *biff* from him, and then a *biff* from John Smth, etc etc ... on and on for pages. Lisa is also a prominent offender in this regard.
