[Q] Definition of Trolling - Off-topic

So I have been looking around and many are using the word trolling extensively. I still have no real definition on what it means to be trolling. So does anyone around here have a "dictionary" definition on trolling?
Thanks

Basically it's starting a post or response for no other reason except to elicit a negative response. See also Attention Whore with Mommy/Daddy issues and too much time.

I hope you aren't trolling us.
POST 600!!! WOOHOO

Nope. Not trolling. Just want a dictionary definition on what trolling is as people use it so freely and as far as I can tell never been defined on what is actually is. Hence my question if someone can provide a dictionary definition of the word.

My book is Iam Legend by Robert Matheson

hahaha that was awesome
Being a Culinary student, I'd say you should pick up "Kitchen Confidential" and "Medium Raw" by Anthony Bourdain. Really quite fascinating reads. The guy is just so damn blunt, and a master of words. And it's all autobiographical.
I honestly did not like to read years ago.
but, recently ive been reading more, if you are into computers, technology, or physics.
you might like these:
"The Last Lecture"
"A Brief History of Time"
"iWoz" (im not a fanboy)
"The Elegant Universe"
"Physics of the Impossible"
"Parallel Universes"
Im a physics nut, but you may still like them, they arent too complex
Cheers,

@mario0318's signature includes some statements supposedly made by naturalist and media presenter David Attenborough in a nature documentary, to which I responded to in the MiX FAQ thread, and which @J.Michael brought over here.

I don’t think it is a fully accurate quote. The writing style is very similar to that used in Attenborough’s nature documentaries, in fact the format and grammar is formulaic in its similarity and the first and last sentences seem real, but even though Attenborough can sometimes be abstract or poetic (and or sexist) especially in descriptions of domestic or mating behavior, the middle two sentences go beyond rational science, and are more flowery than even Sir A. tends to get, and I cannot find any reference to unique strings of text from the "quote" on line. So, IMO not an accurate quote. I’d be interested in seeing proof of its validity or hearing why such an imaginative fiction was written. Meanwhile here’s a genuine and verifiable quote, which has long been one of my favorites, about a small herd of female Wild Asses encountering a male Wild Ass at a watering hole.
“Female Asses are mysterious creatures. They come and go as they please, and much of their behavior seems unfathomable to an outsider.” D. Attenborough.
