1. trolling

Being a pr**k on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence."
Other Guy: "I just found the most retarded thread in existence."

2. trolling

Trolling is the act of purposefully antagonizing other people on the internet, generally on message boards. When done in a moderated internet community, this can result in banning. When done to uptight people such as fundies, this can result in hilarity.

Apparently I can't post links here, so I can't give a good example of trolling. Sorry.

3. Trolling

To use the internet to start problems, insult, or hurt others. An action that only usually affects the person trolling.
Usually a very bored, lonely person with no friends. Or a punk ass kid.

"My AOL account was shut down because I was trolling in a chatroom."

-batting people to flame at you
-putting the forum down and encouraging people to leave.
-flaming
-spamming
-using several identities on a board to support your own arguments / stage pretend arguments
-generally being a on a power trip.

Thanks for posting the Links to help clear up and define some misunderstood issues here.
From what I have seen I would say we have had more than our share of malicious trolling here. JMHO
