    Trolling means to post things to stir sh*t or that will cause an argument. To bait others to respond angrily.

    "An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community" wiki

    A lot of people get this mixed up, for example i see plenty of people call other people "trolls" just for having a different opinion

    People who prefer the finer things in life. Such as annoying strangers.

    People that post in topics they have no interest in just to get that extra post ;)

    Actually **** that, people that always just say PICS OR GTFO and +1. Annoying.

    Glad to see the person got a good answer to that question.

    Trolling is what people refer to when someone posts very lil on a forum. Lots of people say trolling to new people on forums because online whores feel like their space is being invaded.
