  lurker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This term is not pejorative and indeed is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in `the lurkers', the hypothetical audience for the group's flamage-emitting regulars.
When a lurker speaks up for the first time, this is called `delurking'.
In that series, the use of the term `lurker' for a homeless or displaced person is a conscious reference to the jargon term.

 Internet troll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Users performing many useful, but controversial, functions are often decried as trolls, and in these cases, so-called trolling may actually benefit the forum in which it occurs.
For example, the presence of a radical right-winger, described as a troll, may allow a conservative lurker to feel more comfortable expressing his or her viewpoints, which seem very moderate in contrast.
On the other hand, if trollhunters mount a flame war against this right-wing troll, the conservative bystander may feel less comfortable in expressing her views, to the detriment of the forum.
