Yeah, trolling generally involves someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
Part of the problem with identifying trolls is that everyone reads posts through their own bias, and tend to let trolls sharing their pov go, while falsely identifying trolls who disagree with them.
