By the way, the fishing term is trawling - not trolling. Troll comes from Norse folklore.

Intent to disrupt...Kind of like the premeditated part of the law. Trolling is definitely premeditated.
Sometimes people are nasty or dishonest and that is just the way they are. But if the intend to cause an uproar, it's trolling.

Trolling is when someone answers questions, but has no real interest in the subject. Their only purpose is to incite, or leave sarcastic answers that in no way help the asker. Anyway, that is how I interpret trolling. I hope it helps.
