Default what exactly constitutes a troll?

sorry for the naive question, but what is all this fuss
about Mxsmanic? may be am I missing something obvious,
I must confess that I haven't read all his posts, but I
am a bit surprised by the rather hostile reactions that
he received; I mean, ok, he doesn't fly 'for real',
and sometimes his questions are a tad naives, but hey,
as far as I am concerned if he is an aviation enthusiast,
or at least a wanna-be, I don't see why he should be
shuned. May be he cannot afford to fly, may be is he
too young, may be is he a dog -- this is internet
remember :-) -- or whatever, but we seem to be getting
along just fine with Skylune who advocates grounding
us all, so what am I missing?

Yoopers are from upper Michigan, trolls from lower Michigan.

What leaves me rolling on the floor is how he keeps trolling (see topic
just below this one) and we keep taking the bait... So who is the
fisher and who is the sucker in this little melodrama?

That is because trolls live "below the bridge".
The bridge connects the UP from the LP. :-)

I grew up in Wisconsin. :-)
