    Will everyone please stop feeding the trolls, especially those who claim to leave for a week, yet don't?!

    In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

    I was going to say something else but it could be grounds to ban me so I will just leave it at this: Its not surprising at all that you would "spy" on university coworkers and report their activities to management in a desperate bid to stay in their good books. Like a desperate little poodle dancing to the masters tune.

    Thanks Glenski, that was some interesting reading on trolls. I tried to tell myself that it wasn't so, but in the end you are right.
