Most trolls will throw things in the middle of the thread to disrupt and change the subject. Most of the time they try to provoke anger, which people will then retaliate and flame the troller. Troller get a big kick out of people getting angry with them?
Talking about Gracie in this thread is not trolling, in my opinion, because Gracie makes us happy. : )
