Anyway, trolling, real trolling is the opposite of what you said distelo, its not joking around w/ people you know, trolling is using personal insults to put people down, saying the worst things you can imagine in order to make them rage or cry, and in extreme cases like cyber bullying even commit suicide irl, although that's almost always a continuation of real life personal issues that also show up on the net that causes that, and not a random stranger. Anywho... that's trolling. So yeah, as Syn said its not really a compliment, unless you're from 4chan, then it's a mission, ha.

...but since trolling became mainstream its been used to pretty much to describe any type of annoying or disruptive behavior, and thus is used in most situations like that now on the net, and that's how it will remain. It's kind of like calling stocks/images that have had their background cut-out "renders" even though that's technically incorrect.. people still uses that terminology cause its been accepted by almost everyone as correct. That's the way I see it... trolling used to mean something different but now its just a word to describe idiots.
Summary: Fuck you Distello
