Hello, just a quick question - what is trolling? It sounds like it is not very nice, but I can't work out what it is.

Thanks

troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, incorrect, inaccurate, absurd, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.
