What’s the difference between a troll and an NPE? I thought they meant the same thing, but that NPE was just the nicer term.

- jimktrains2 7y agoIn my head a troll is someone attacking entities for no reason but to further their own pocketbooks, and often using sleazy behavior like attacking entities who cant defend themselves with baseless lawsuit. An npe who did the initial research, continues to do research, and attacking entities that are able to defend themselves, I would be hard pressed to call a troll unless there is some other sleazy behavior.
