What is a “Troll” ?
In Internet slang, a TROLL is:
“… is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception. This is typically for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all” Source: Wikipedia
“Both the noun and the verb forms of “troll” are associated with Internet discourse. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment” Source: Wikipedia
What is a “Vexatious Person” ?
A vexatious person is somebody who is:
“difficult to deal with and causing a lot of anger, worry, or argument”

In view of DHRF’s commitment to support learning, there is a much higher “learning content” in the Research Work Streams & elsewhere than would otherwise be the case… Please be aware of that ↩
