Please excuse my ignorance, but what the heck is trolling?

Basically asking (often silly or provocative) questions or voicing (often
silly or provocative) opinions in the hope of generating a long
(silly/argumentative)thread in response. Trolls enjoy generating these
threads and aren't fussed how they do it. They just enjoy the ensuing
thread. Contributing to such a thread is known as 'feeding' the troll.
Trolling is pretty juvenile really and probably reflects the age of the
troll.
