(26,256 posts)Of course non-English speakers can be trolls! I am a member of a progressive Facebook group and we had quite a spate of very vile posts from people whose 'profiles' were brand new and/or pretty much blank. The one thing they had in common was the Cyrillic script on their pages. All they did was post offensive photos and memes from the same, already discredited source. I wish I could remember the name but I blocked each and every one of these trolls.
My definition of a troll is anyone who goes around posting on an opposing political or social group's page with the primary goal of being a disruptive and argumentative asshole. I don't care which side of the political spectrum they fall on, it's just childish. In this particular group, we've all pretty much agreed to stop arguing with them, and just hit the block option.
