yeah what exactly is the definition of trolling?

The term originally referred to the fishing practice of dangling the baited hook in the water and then moving slowly through, hoping to get a bite in one place where you might not get one being stationary.

Internet trollers (that is the correct word, not "trolls") "bait" people with inflammatory dialogue in hopes of getting a "bite" that results in a flame war. A generous portion of the time, these trollers don't even care about the opinion they spout so much as they have a desperate need to bring discord to an otherwise harmonious environment.
