Most people seem to think of a little green guy when the term troll is used here. But its actually a fishing term. To troll is to drag a baited hook waiting for a fish to 'take the bait'. Hence, someone posts something they do not believe, or realize will instigate trouble, to 'troll' for replies.
Its not an idea exclusive to this forum, its a widely used term (and technique) throughout the internet message boards.

That explanation is far too kind & wrong in the sense that "they do not believe, or realise" they're trolling (maybe I'm just not understanding that part).

A better definition would be

-someone who needs a reaction of some sort (from their internet peers) to feel a sence of self worth, as they have no self worth in this thing we call real life.

I'm feeding the trolls social disorder right now as I type.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

What audioholic was saying is that, they post something, that they themselves as the poster do not believe, OR realise that it WILL instigate trouble...you read it is as Audioholic meaning that the poster didnt realise it was troublesome...but indeed they do

Yep, the whole point of it being a trolling post is the intentional posting of information they know is false (dont believe themselves) or that they know is inflammatory, to instigate trouble, and ultimately to gain attention. Its like telling your mommy you still need to breast feed at age 12.
