“One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument,” this is the definition of a troll from the Urban Dictionary. It is my belief that sometimes when we get in a negative mood and can’t find any solutions, we get a little trollish!
My grandchildren have a code word when they think things are escalating out of control. I think perhaps “troll” is going to be my code word when I am about to complain about someone or something. Complaining to people who can’t solve the issue is not very productive. I am going to find different ways to blow off my steam.
Here is where you all come into play. If you find me complaining to the wrong person without a solution, feel free to leave a comment with the word “troll” in it and I will know I have stepped over the negativity line.

Are you brave enough to use and ask others to use the code word?
As the old saying goes “I just do not have the heart.”
Good luck with your reminders, we all probably need them. 🙂
There are fewer here on Virily now than there were, but we still have a couple.
Well sometimes I need to be reminded!
I will happily do so!
I am thinking of a few fun ways.
Hey quit trolling and start fishing.
You can’t cook a troll.
Absolutely love it. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your kind words.
You are most welcome!
It takes a lot of courage to ask for such reminders 😉
Well I figure I can’t improve if I don’t know I need to!
