Default What is a "troll"?

I occasionally see someone referred to as a "troll" in these postings. What is a troll? I may be a troll and don't even know it!

A troll is someone who has joined a forum for the sole purpose of bashing the people that are in it because they don't like the cars we drive. Thought that might help.

Why would someone ask a question like this unless they were actually a troll or thinking of becoming one. I think we better keep an eye on this guy...
