What is a troll and who is a troll here? I personally don't believe in trolls, however I hear people refer to others as trolls. Thanks and God Bless.

A troll is a fearsome member of a race of creatures from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England (also called Trolls at times, see Troller's Gill) – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. In the Faroe islands, Orkney and Shetland tales, trolls are called trows, adopted from the Norse language when these islands were settled by Vikings.

Yeah, I know... I was being sarcastic. But seriously, if you are really really bored, you guys should check out that wikipedia troll site. It was kind of interesting
