So many people are facinated about this word "Troll" you use it like a religion.. When little kids came up with the term.

You look really cool when you start calling people 'trolls'

What on earth are you on about, a troll used in context is specific to the internet, go google it.

In fact I'll do it for you, here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

Note that it was not invented by kids

You do realise that trolling is a way of fishing by tangling your line behind the boat, its not the creatures that live under the bridge, I doubt little kids came up with this term.

I thought that was 'trawling' ?

I've noticed a lot of people misuse the term 'troll' simply when they don't agree with a statement. OP's statement was fair if you ask me.

You know I must have been half asleep actually fully asleep when I said trolling is fishing, you are dead right its trawling for fishing, DOH!, but as far as I understand it, that is where the term troll is from, a quick wiki search (so it may or may not be correct) mentions "The verb troll originates from Old French troller, a hunting term."

I think this quote from a site called UrbanBaby somes it up pretty well though,

"Ah, yes. Fishing! When you put your line in the water and drag it along to bait fish. Combine that with the Norse legend and you have a nasty person who drags bait in front of others (nasty comments) to see if they'll bite (get angry)."
