A troll or trolling is basically someone on the internet who really only exists to provoke and disturb other people. Someone saying 'don't feed the trolls' means, 'don't engage them.'

Found this........
An internet 'troll' is an abusive and obnoxious user who promotes hate and disharmony in online communities. Named after the wicked troll creatures of children's tales, an internet troll is someone who stirs up drama and abuses their online anonymity by purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, mysogyny, or just simple bickering between others. Trolls like a big audience, so they frequent blog sites, news sites, discussion forums, and game chat. Trolls thrive in any environment where they are allowed to make public comments. |

Trolling is also a term in fishing. And where I live, a term for someone going to the bars looking for a "date".
I didn't know about the internet meaning, good to know, lol! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
