This should be in the dictionary for the definition of troll.


Why? There already is a definition for troll, and this doesn't fit it.


From wikipedia: *An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet
slang<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang>,
is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an
on-line community such as an on-line discussion
forum<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum>or group with the
intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.
**[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29#_note-0>*

Disagreeing with the chorus doesn't make one a troll or a nazi.
