I hear the word troll being used all accross the forum, normally in a bitchie manner. Does it have a definition or just a general put down?

I was of the opinion its a shortened term for troublemaker?

It means someone is posting to intentionally wind people up.
So someone might post something about welafre of the horse which they know will get a lot of people worked up.
You also get ones who just advertise random stuff- although I guess this is spam.
