Troll

From CaseyPedia

A troll is either --

• A monster from a childhood story
• A generally anonymous person who posts on internet forums with comments designed to provoke responses. Such behaviour is designed to provide some form of gratuitous thrill to the original poster, while pissing off the readers who discover that they have been baited. Most trolls of this type are pitiable human beings. Anonymous trolls that continuously post blatantly idiotic and juvenile remarks with no supporting arguments are often referred to as anonypussies.

Many Haterz™ originally thought Casey Serin was simply nothing more than a troll -- it was alleged that Serin created the whole drama as a piece of performance art, or an internet spoof. However public records support the authenticity of Serin's fraudulent house-buying spree. Recently, Serin admitted purposely trolling his blog's readers in a story published by CNET. In addition, recent IAFF postings have become increasingly hoax-like, leading some of Serin's critics to conclude that Serin is "a master baiter", pun intended. The tragedy, of course, is that Casey is a troll in real life as well; he is actually using real people's money, feelings, assets and emotions to troll with - not least his family's.

Interestingly enough, the word "troll" derives from an ancient Norse word meaning "magic". This sheds new light on Casey's claim that he brings a touch of magic to sweet deals otherwise involving experienced professionals.
