In my book, "fisher of controversy" = troll.
LOL, well, that is where the term comes from. Trolls didn't get the name due to their semblance to supernatural creatures; it's from their habit of "trolling" message board (or, back in the day, Usenet and BBS groups), trying to get people to "bite" at their "bait" (i.e. inflammatory comments).
Actually my definition of a toll, is a poster who adds nothing to the topic. They add +1, ditto, etc. If we never had any controversy, the forums would be a dull dull place. (Yes I also go back to the time of BBS groups)
