alguien que mete trolas (o una "trola" en sí): por extension, cualquiera
que postea en una lista o foro algo que se sabe va a provocar un flame.
Puede ser equivalente a "provocador" y su origen no tiene nada que ver con
los feos personajes de la peli de moda (ESDLA). En usenet era a veces un
ejercicio sutil de ironia que buscaba hacer picar -o provocar- a los
novatos con alguna aseveracion falsa aunque aparentemente coherente que
produjese revuelo... Pero este ultimo sentido "inteligente" está en desuso.

Lo mejor es pegarte la definicion del jargon file:

:troll: /v.,n./  [From the Usenet group
   alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on {Usenet}
   designed to attract predictable responses or {flame}s.  Derives
   from the phrase "trolling for {newbie}s" which in turn comes
   from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one
   trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite.  The
   well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and
   flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they
   already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and
   experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll.  If you don't
   fall for the joke, you get to be in on it.

   Some people claim that the troll is properly a narrower category
   than {flame bait}, that a troll is categorized by containing
   some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial.
