"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll I wonder if there's a corresponding word to describe those of us who post potentially-inflammatory comments with the intent of generating sufficiently passionate discussion to instigate actual change. If so, the same word would doubtless have an antipathetic definition in for- profit corporate dictionaries. -- http://totally-portable-software.blogspot.com [Sun Nov 22: "Total Portability is not binary"]
