Troll . . .
"[Someone] who constructs the identity of sincerely wishing to be part of the group in question, including professing or conveying pseudo-sincere intentions, but whose real intention(s) is/are to cause disruption and/or to trigger or exacerbate conflict for the purposes of their own amusement"
Trolling can . . .
(1) be frustrated if users correctly interpret an intent to troll, but are not provoked into responding,
(2) be thwarted if users correctly interpret an intent to troll, but counter in such a way as to curtail or neutralise the success of the troller,
(3) fail if users do not correctly interpret an intent to troll and are not provoked by the troller, or,
(4) succeed if users are deceived into believing the troller's pseudo-intention(s), and are provoked into responding sincerely.
