How would you define a troll?

I wouldn't waste my time defining it. But here's how Wikipedia defines it:

A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In origin, troll may have been a negative synonym for a jötunn (plural jötnar). In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.

Do you really "dwell in an isolated cave"? Pretty cool.

Anything special w that number? Like is that a troll's favorite number or something? Or street number of your cave residence?

Why is Andy Kaufman now considered to be a genius?

He was years ahead of his time.

Was he a troll? A genius? A genius at trolling? Does that make it better?

Are there good trolls and bad trolls?

A genius.
He was far from a troll. Just because his contemporaries didn't appreciate him doesnt change the facts.

He deliberately annoyed people and refused to admit that he was kidding. The wrestling fans from the south did not think he was joking when he taunted them. I am not disputing that this may be an art form, but what I am saying is that it wasn't just that his peers didn't "get" him. Part of his modus operandi was to make people angry.

Part of some people's modus operandi is to get mad. And ironically part of the idea is they also have to be annoyed at the people who "got them mad". Even though they wanted to be gotten mad.

On the other hand, the people on the other side are only happy if the people they "got mad" are actually annoyed at them. So they need it too.

The administrators sometimes need to ban the ones who "get the others mad" because that is also part of the game.

We each have a role in the big game. It doesn't really matter which you are, as long as you do your job.

Sounds like criminal psychology 101. Cops and robbers is also a game. Ever read Eric Berne's Games People Play?

What about Ali G and Jacka**? Are they trolls? Imo its a style of humor- subtly making fun of what people take (too) seriously.
