I am in full support of using the word "troll" where it's applicable but it seems that a lot of recent threads that are really walking the line. What would you call a thread that may not be intentionally designed to be inflammatory or provoke an emotional response but are inevitably doing exactly that? I guess you could call the authors "unwitting trolls" but we need a more awesome word for it. Suggestions ?

I always liked the term "dingus" as a safe and all covering term for those with a total lack of even the simplest of social skills, often doing or saying something totally ridiculous/awkward in nature without even realizing what they had done.

I was actually thinking of amending a previous thread I had labeled as a "troll thread" to "dingus thread" .

Dingus is also very versatile, i.e.

Dingusaurus Rex

Dingaloid

and even Dingus Khan (one of my personal faves)

The possibilities are truly endless
