All right, I’ve been on this site for several years, and I feel it’s time to go troll. Since there have been so many good examples on this site, I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out what type of troll to be. Maybe you all can help me decide. Should I be a(n)…
Arson troll – start a thread with an inflammatory question and then walk away?
Lashon hara troll – bring up a well known person who I know is controversial on this site, and then feign outrage when other posters disparage him/her (pestering the mods would be an added bonus)
Mesora troll – bash others’ minhagim by claiming they are recent innovations, while vociferously defending my own recently innovated minhagim
Tznius troll – decry the decline of tznius with an immodest level of detail
False flag troll – defend a position in such a rude and illogical way that others discredit that position just because I support it
False dilemma troll – act like bein adam l’makom and bein adam l’chaveiro are mutally exclusive, and that one who emphasizes one is lacking in the other
Any others to add?
Popa troll.
Oh my, did I really irk you so?! I humbly croak out my request for mechillah.
The best ones can do all the types at once. And the better ones can do that and fool everyone for a long time before anyone suspects anything.
How about the one who trolls about trolls? (I protest as to the usage of the word “troll”. perhaps “abusive posters” would be better.)
Random bump troll (self explanatory)
Sock puppet troll (multiple usernames by the same person to support his/her point)
False source troll (quoting seforim which don’t actually say anything about the topic, or actually contradict the poster)
Note: the arson troll can be in the middle of a thread.
Why cant we all just get along troll
Combo troll.
Official Troll Time?
(insert name here) writes in his sefer that trolling is allowed if you make a bracha on the previous Tuesday. The minhag of saying Birchas HaTrolling on a Monday is a new and made up minhag.
Any others to add?

The calling-random-people-a-troll troll.
Same here. If I’d “become a mentch”, I’d call everyone froggies.
How about the start a topic and then complain that there’s such a topic troll?
Dy,
Are you insinuating that justajew is yankelehcohen,
I never thought of that but it makes 100% sense
Well, I’d say it could be true because the name yankelehcohen with the Sephardi sounding title with the word “tniut” didn’t make sense. As far as I know “yankele” or “yanky” is only used by Ashkenazim.
Also “yankelecohen” never chimed in after his first post, unless I missed a comment of his.Anybody want some chulent?
Yes; you too we know.
… I’m not all suggesting that it’s true of all 5 Towners, or that there’s anything remotely wrong with it. But it’s how they probably imagine it to be –modern, modern.

Arson troll. See the OP. 👆
Although I should point out that he managed to incorporate most types listed in the OP…
“Tzniut” was done on purpose.. my earlier post didn ‘t go thru.
I am not really sure why you repeatedly insist DY is connected to the other posters but I am clarifying right now that he is not.
(whether or not he is a troll is another matter altogether…. 👹) -29
It seems like he incorporated most of the trolls in one
I give him an A for that
Not sure why my other post didn’t go through

Depends how you define troll… 😊
