I prefer the urbandictionary definition:

“Trolling on-line forums as described above is actually analogous to the fishing technique of “trolling”, where colorful baits and lures are pulled behind a slow moving boat.”

I think that definition has too much overlap with the already popularized coinage "Phishing" where a user is baited into giving up something.
