I believe the term "troll" has been hijacked by "bully".

Get the original definition of troll and trolling and you will have a glimpse into the world in the deepest recesses of my being. Then you may graps every motive behind my online action.

Trolls are baiters, trolling is simply fishing with a bait. The art is a skilled and brainy one. However, I do understand contemporary observers have replaced trolling with bullying. It's sad and stiffles one of the creative aspects of internet...

Still rising.
