Get the Zoom Trolling mug.Related Words
An exchange between participants on an internet discussion board where there seems to be multiple levels of trolling; i.e., the victim might be trolling the troll, the troll might be aware he is being trolled and so trolls the victim's attempt at trolling, and so on. It is recursive in the sense that there is no limit to how many levels deep the trolling might be.

Get the recursive trolling mug.Trolling – (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument
Trolling on-line forums as described above is actually analogous to the fishing technique of “trolling”, where colorful baits and lures are pulled behind a slow moving boat, often with multiple fishing lines, covering a large bodies of water, such as a large lake or the ocean. The trolling lures attract unsuspecting fish, intriguing them with the way they move through the water, thus enticing these foolish fish to “take the bait”. Not unlike unsuspecting internet victims, once hooked, the fish are reeled in for the catch before they realize they have been duped by the Troll/Fisherman
