Before you start crying "Troll!", Blackie, you ought to know
that you fit the definition far better than I.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
The term troll is highly subjective. Some readers may
characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the
same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion,
even if controversial. The term is often used to discredit
an opposing position, or its proponent, by argument fallacy
ad hominem.
Often, calling someone a troll makes assumptions about a
writer's motives. Regardless of the circumstances,
controversial posts may attract a particularly strong
response from those unfamiliar with the robust dialogue
found in some online, rather than physical, communities.
Experienced participants in online forums know that the most
effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him
or her, because responding tends to encourage trolls to
continue disruptive posts - hence the often-seen warning:
"Please do not feed the trolls".[9]
Frequently, someone who has been labeled a troll by a group
may seek to redeem their reputation by discrediting their
opponents, for example by claiming that other members of the
group are closed-minded, conspirators, or trolls themselves.

You may not like my posts, but they are not for the purposes
of trolling. I'll leave that noxious activity to you,
