A series of articles appears to back that statement up.

What exactly is a Troll? Well that rather depends upon one's interpretation or prejudice.

folklore) an ugly creature depicted as either a giant or a dwarf.

Make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them:
‘if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you’
[with object] ‘you folks taking this opportunity to troll me, you really need to reassess your values in your life’

Carefully and systematically search an area for something:
‘a group of companies trolling for partnership opportunities’
[with object] ‘I spent tonight trolling the Internet for expensive lighting gear’

2.1 Fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat:
‘we trolled for mackerel’

British Walk in a leisurely way; stroll:
‘we all trolled into town’

‘don't feed the trolls, guys, it only makes them come back’

internet, in order to get attention or cause trouble

a message that someone leaves on the internet that is intended to annoy people:
A well-constructed troll will provoke irate or confused responses from flamers and newbies.


troll
One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.


One does not have to fit into any criteria in order to be labelled a Troll. One simply is called such by anyone who disagrees with anything another person or group of people are saying.

You claim a nyone cane be turned into a person who gets amusement from upsetting others. I think you've been looking into the mirror too long.

I ceased looking into mirrors long ago because the person looking back at me was very aggressive in their looks and also because the glass kept breaking.
