Survivorman is on the Discovery Channel in the UK on Tuesday 6th at 9pm.

So what happened to 'username'? has he been banned?

And 'a troll' I take it is someone who just comes on the forum to cause trouble?

Wikipedia has a relatively good explanation for it, as well as links to some other terms that you may run into, like “sockpuppet” (although that is far less common).

from wikipedia:
(for those like me who didn't know)
'An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion'.

as trolls go 'username'' was pretty pathetic. the best he could hope for is we'd take pity on him as someone too dumb to realise ets is not aeromedix or work out how to use the links here to speak to Doug. No one believed he really had a defective knife that the seller was refusing to refund.

Thanks for that JC.
