whats a troll ?
In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
Rob is the sole proprietor of punaweb, he does it as a community service for no recompense, as such it is a benevolent dictatorship where he can run it any way he choses. If someone pisses him off one time too many he can toss them out on their ear. I have noticed he has been quicker to respond to brand new people who jump out of the gate with troll like behavior recently.
