I think that a troll is someone from within the cyberspatial dimension who often pops out of nowhere and posts something to a list or a forum that has the main purpose of stirring up heated debate, often about nomenclature or some identity-oriented brand thing, and for his of her own amusement, watching with a grin as the "debate" ensues. In this case, the nearest we come to a troll is the Helaryious posts about how Apple is not to be singled out (because the probable troll is likely an Apple user). The undersigned, on the other hand, is just a drunken ranter, who used to work on the floor of factory.
