What's the difference between a troll and a sock puppet?

Sock Puppet = "the act of creating a fake online identity to praise, defend or create the illusion of support for one's self, allies or company."

Troll = someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Yes - some do create sockpuppets just to troll while they "protect" their other identity. Others create sockpuppets to make statements and topics they wish not to be associated with.

Most peculiar troll I've seen was on YouTube, he spammed Mercedes 240D related videos, asking what year their 'Cadillac' was, and how they should put the 5.7 Diesel in them and generally saying that Mercs got bad mileage and how they should just buy a Caddy, with nothing to back up his argument..... luckily most people have been sensible enough to mark his trolling as spam.
