Did we just witness a flame-and-run? What IS a troll then?

Well, some trolls apparently harbour strange grievances towards the French and their supposedly idiotic refusal to speak the Language Of Linguists, Anglish.
Or something. Sorry, I dozed off.

It's OK for you, but I live at the far end of the interwebs and people from my neck of the woods don't seem to turn up on MATY much. Why did this one have to be a flouncer with no staying power :-\

Hi y'all, are the WMDs put away yet? Well, the thread seems to have died a death since my 'flounce' as Space Cadet' so creatively put it, so for your enjoyment I have returned to point more fingers at the grammatical idiosyncracies of US/UK English and also to point out the many grammatical and spelling mistakes made by the compadres on here which is ironic given the name of the thread. Let me start with spacecadet who left a question mark off the end of her post. An oversight I'm sure ;)
Notice, I did not say 'off of' as the 'of' is totally superfluous, but this is yet another US grammatical idiosyncracy which I abhor. Why are there so many in one language? I much prefer the more natural 'outta' here as everyone knows that it is a contraction of 'out of" but 'off of' has me really puzzled.
Whatever a troll is, I don't think I am one. ;D Or maybe one of you erudite people can enlighten those of us who don't know and then we will all know.
