Get the troll mug.
Someone who is very bored and has a sad life so they decide to make others miserable by trolling them, making them a troll. This includes causing purposely distraction, drama, and shit to go down.

There's trolls on every site including games. Don't take them seriously just laugh it off, they don't do any harm either. (Except if you're easily triggered, or a feminist)
Keemstar is a troll.

Get the troll mug.
An individual who enjoys disrupting peace of an online message board, and causing dissent in general. They will often claim to possess a skill, called trolling, and speak of it as if it is a useful skill. These people are most likely unintelligent, or not under the realization that there supposed skill is not a skill at all. That is not the only type of troll, other trolls will troll people who are largely disliked, or at least disliked by that particular troll.
Troll: I went to troll some random forum today, I made so many people mad. Trolling is an art, it takes skill to be successful, I am quite skilled in it and take pride in my skill.

Person: Trolling isn't a skill, all you do is make people mad for no reason and you're happy about it when people hate you. You're a waste of space.

Troll: You mad?

Person: You're pathetic.

Get the troll mug.
Posting a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup, mailing list, message board, or other electronic community with the intention of garnering attention, gaining personal notoriety, goading others into angry responses, causing disruption, and/or inciting argument.
"But, Marti, it's so much fun to goad you people on."

"You know, the only reason I continue to post on this topic is because I
cannot express an opinion without being attacked in a vituperative and
hostile manner. It's sort of like poking a stick at a hornet nest."

"Telling me go F* myself will not stop the conversation. It only escalates it."
