Questions, nothing but questions

If a group of lions is a 'pride', and a group of dogs is a 'pack', what is a group of trolls?

Would you believe, according to Wiki Answers, it is a 'clan'?

Do trolls usually function as a group or act as individuals?

Have you never been ganged up upon by a clan of trolls?

Did you know that they call that a 'dog pile'?

What is a dog pile? :eek:

Urban Dictionary: dog pile

dogpile

A disagreement on an Internet message board wherein one person says something wrong or offensive, and a large number of people comment in response to tell the person how wrong and/or horrible they are, and continue to disparage the original commenter beyond any reasonable time limit.

People commenting at the same time, without realizing others are jumping on the person as well, do not make a dogpile. The requirement is to join in with an angry group to yell at an easy target, or to get popularity points for being seen to agree with the group. They see that everyone else is doing something, and they copy it.

The original commenter typically does not respond at all, because they are completely overwhelmed or scared off. Once a dogpile has been established, an apology from the original commenter is less likely to be effective.

Isn't it true when something is clearly described, you can say 'Oh, yes. I've seen that before."?

Aren't human beings sometimes very awful?

Would this be a poor time to say "I've seen that before"?
