Troll

An undesirable visitor to an unsent newsgroup. This person is usually combative and abusive of many of the accepted Usenet practices. A Troll usually will engage users in an aggressive manner. Possible trolls should be reported to your Usenet provider and to the moderator of the newsgroup in which they are provoking and abusing. It is against the TOS of most Usenet providers to allow known Trolls access to Usenet and specific newsgroups.
