What exactly is a "troll"?

When you drag a baited line through water, hoping that gullible fish will come up and bite it and get hooked, then you're trolling for fish. Likewise, the same can be done to humans, metaphorically speaking. That's what trolls do.

Well said. I've probably been familiar with the concept of trolling since about 2003 and yet I haven't heard a really good definition of it until now!

It's remarkable how many people keep falling for obvious trolls. It seems to comically easy to provoke people into froths of rage with blatantly transparent garbage about religion or politics.

You'd almost think people enjoyed being angry.
