In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or
off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion
forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users
into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic
discussion. [From Wikipedia]

Does that answer your question?

On usenet for many, many years I have
repeatedly been accused of trolling. BTW
trolling means baiting.

Yet, the truth is that I consistently raise
controversial topics; it is NOT trolling; for example -

a) Christian Origins - Thiering Thesis
(See relevant Wikipedia article, if interested)
(Jesus Christ was originally an Essene who
split from the Essenes at his baptism in 29 AD
by John the Baptist to form the Christian Party)

b) Proposal - Qumran Community were Essenes
(Archaeology DOES support this conclusion)

c) Climate Science Debate; especially Dr. Svensmark
(I AM a meteorologist)

d) Marriage Reform
(As a psychologist, I once did marriage counseling
long ago)

Does the reader get the point at last?

Best,
