Wow! You got six answers, and yet nobody really answered your question. For questions like this, I usually turn to Google in general, and that search often leads me to Wikipedia in particular.
In the context of internet culture, an internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts messages about sensitive topics constructed to cause controversy in an online community such as an online discussion forum or USENET groups in order to bait users into responding.[1] They may also plant images and data on networks that others may find disturbing in order to cause confrontation. They often change screen names or acquire multiple screen names to cause confusion and gain credibility by agreeing with themselves in forum debates. See Agentgilhomo.
More specifically a troll is an insult or accusation made against a poster. It would be highly unusual for any internet poster to claim the title of troll[citation needed], rather a community member may sometimes try to deflate a post that is controversial or thought provoking by referring to it as "trolling". Properly, to call someone a troll is to say that any dispute over a post is not valid not because the issues raised are not valid, but to claim the intent of the poster invalidates the post. As a speech act the term troll is sometimes used as an ad hominem argument, attacking the poster rather than the content or issues of the post.

Trolling is an Internet behavuor that results in a fussy and mean person. On the Internet forums, it means a person would look around for a fight. On Y! answers, it means answering q's with a single letter just to get points, or reporting random people for trolling, even if they did nothing wrong.
If a person says he loves to troll, than he/she could be compared with a high school bully or jock.

Trolls are the evil little ones that live inside of YA, making the rest of us (who are trying to have fun) go insane with their stupid pranks. And trolling is when the trolls get together.
