[MR] Use of the word "Troll"

[Elaine Koogler]

I have absolutely no problem with using the word "Troll" to designate the
person who welcomes me to an event, checks my membership, etc.  It is, at
least, a real word.  I have a greater problem with words like "Feast-o-crat"
or some of the other terms along the same lines that I have heard and am
hearing more and more recently.  I just plain old don't like constructed
words...ask my friends...I get touchy over using nouns for verbs and vice
versa, so this really bugs me.  When I am in charge of cooking a feast, I'm
the Head Cook.  I would even like to see "autocrat" replaced by
"Master/Mistress of the Hall" or something similar.  But even that is
preferable to the made-up words I see being used.

End of rant.
