From the Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone 
who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an 
on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group 
with the singular intention of baiting users into an 
argumentative response.[1] It often has a broader meaning 
referring to any shady trouble making Internet activity."

Posting accusations of "troll" against other posters can easily 
fall under the definition of trolling. What delicious 
self-referential irony. Trollers and trollees alike entwined in 
an orgasmic, communicative and collaborative embrace.
