Default Re: Explain what a troll and an AE is please?

Good question Yat. You need to be aware of the vast number of people that get on this forum just to post a bunch of useless crap and hassle people. AE stands for "Alter Ego". It refers to a 2nd, 3rd, 4th ID created by the same person. Often, the person uses the AE id to post stuff he/she would not ordinarily say with his own "real" ID. A troll is just some dipsh*t that logs on with a primary ID and whose sole intent is to just cause trouble. You'll often find people from other automotive forums log in to harass Hummer owners here, ie. "Jeep trolls".

Now, I won't list out all of the AEs and trolls here. But here's a few to watch out for:

Trolls: ShaggyX, Mooncricket, JeepChick, h2co-pilot, Paragon, CO Hummer
AEs: DRTYFN, KenP, DennisAJC, Jason
