Another meaning of "troll" is to use it as a verb, as in fishing.  When a fisherman trolls, he lets his line drift through the water until he catches something.

You can see from this definition how "trolling" became an internet term.

Answer 5

An Internet troll is someone who posts offensive, controversial, or divisive material on an Internet community. Trolls are an unfortunately common occurrence on many communities across the Internet, and there are various steps which can be taken to combat them. If you are currently struggling with an Internet troll, the best thing to do is to walk away, since trolls feed on attention, and they will usually disappear if they are ignored.

The evolution of the Internet troll was a slow process which began as computer users started to more widely adopt the Internet. At first, the term referred merely to someone who was “trolling” for a response or opinion, in the same way that fishing boats cast out large nets to troll for a catch. Over time, trolls grew more aggressive, and the term began to be used specifically to refer to someone irritating or hurtful. In this sense, a troll could be compared to the nasty creatures of Scandinavian mythology which are also known as trolls.

There are a number of different types of trolls. In the most classic case, a troll harasses an Internet community for a few weeks, posting contradictory opinions or statements on bulletin boards in an attempt to stimulate a response. Internet trolls are differentiated from people who genuinely wish to present a different viewpoint by their attitudes and aggressiveness; their goal is not to discuss a situation, but to frustrate the members of a discussion board. They often use fallacious arguments or attack the users of a site when they attempt to defend themselves from the troll's activities. In some cases, a troll becomes a recurring figure who is well known by long-term members.

Answer 14

Trolls, Answers variety, can be born or become so by choice. The latter are influenced by the BIG folks bigotry and become fixed in their beliefs very early. They develop dry stony minds where a few dead plants how where love and compassion tried to gain a place only to be choked. They occasionally bay at the moon or pound their tripe writers in search of relief.
