Trolling is often intended to bait and as such is associated with malice and anger. However, in its common usage: it means misrepresenting one’s self in order to produce a planned reaction, generally to prove some sort of point ( example: everyone has a trigger). If "the troll" is being honest the term trolling does not apply as they are not engaging in misrepresentation and no malice or manipulation is intended. Trolling is similar to method acting, in that the more one believes one's own words the more effective one's argument. Which is to say that the most effective "trolls" have transcended and become believers.
"Ah, I didn't mean that. I was just trolling."
