attach one's accounts so they basically can see/stalk all you do?...{{ i have accounts that are attached by someone, with three different names, that only show's me a part of the name & then *** things...now i don't even go to those accounts, and i had them for years..is that what a troll is/does? }}...

Wikipedia said:
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,A extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

They didn't really need a study to figure this out just Google and Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

Fortunately, more often than not, the gods of MalwareTips grant leniency to their loyal followers:p...from high atop mount MT!:D Your contributions to venustus' news post made for some interesting, & very laughable reading!;) I've just learned what a Troll is too!:cool:
When you'd like to begin a new post, a good place to start your quest, oh noble eowin, is to climb ^ Mount Doom (up to the top of the page & to the left). Just <click> on forums, and it will be like opening a fun encyclopedia!:D

p.s.... read the whole article...** smacks self for not reading it b4 first commenting upon and sucho_O...**

if a person is called a 'troll', because they read things, and do not comment at times, that is not what i would think one should consider a 'troll' (( my opinion, i understand))..if a 'troll' is one who is a creepy stalker thing, ((that is what i thought a 'troll' was )) >> what does one do to protect one's self from such a person <<..(( am asking about, on the topic, so i think i am following the rules, GODS..if i am wrong, please let me know..* w/ total sincerity, am asking, as i heart the GODS**))..:)**heart & ty emote **
