[MR] Use of the word "Troll"

[Syr Otto]

Most of the SCA word usage (troll, smalls, dragon, etc) don't bother me,
but I too have held a dislike for the O'Crat family.

I have to agree.  I remember some events back about 15 or so years ago
in the Midrealm where we would not only have a feast-o-crat, but a
crash-o-crat, a merchant-o-crat, and so on.  Someone new to the Society
would think we were being taken over by an Irish family called O'Crat.
BTW, the word troll is okay with me as well.
