Trolls

The increasing popularity of on-line discussions has given rise to an argumentative neologism that may be more widely applicable: “trolls.” Trolls commit an inappropriate move in an argument, saying something unreasonable that derails the discussion. (I recall analogously in my highschool biology class we learned to ask the teacher, Mr. Houghton, about living through the [...]
