(22,236 posts)Years ago someone on a hockey board where I used to post said this about them:
They are the ones who will join a conversation to try and bait someone they don't like into a flame war by disagreeing with said target for the dumbest of reasons.
They will nitpick to death.
They will purposely "misread" what someone is saying for sake of getting their target to go on the defensive.
Supposedly the most tell tale sign is that they will often use emoticons similar to the laughing emoticon we have here and use them in great numbers.
Another tell tale sign is that they will often "tag team" which means the same group of people will often jump in to gang up on one person soon after the first one gets the ball rolling.
There might be a couple more that I don't remember. I can't say for sure if the same thing applies here as it did on that hockey board but it sure seemed to work over there.
