I do not know who was first to use the word Troll as its used on AB.However, the word comes from a story called Three Billy Goats Gruff which was written by two Norwegians called Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Moe.Perhaps you have heard of it?

There is NO way to know, just like any other internet meme.

I think it was a great question.

You are no slower a study than most of us. The reason this is fun is because you learn a lot as you stay on here. Try just putting the word Troll in the question box and click and you'll see a lot of questions on trolls. Or you could go on the AnswerBag category and click on there and learn lots of good stuff.

You are not a slow study, it's just a matter of when an AB topic comes up & one is exposed to it. I don't know the answer, but there are a few AB veterans around that might. I'm interested in the answer as well.

When I first came to the Answerbag, I was struck by the behavior of many users who just downrated an answer and scooted away without bothering to comment. I had no idea about trolls and their trolling activities then. So I called them 'black sheep' of the Answerbag and posted a question.

There was plenty of soft and heated debate and I had to explain to each one of those who answered what I meant by 'black sheep'.
It was in one of the comments threads that I learned the word troll.
You will find the question, answers and the comments threads most interesting.

No idea - the term has been around far longer than AB itself.

Hey guys, an oldie here who's just returning recently who really misses the old AB. Anyone out there feel the same way?
