What exactly is trolling?

So then why would Capo call this post:

"blatant trolling?"

Granted he is not a staff member, to be able to call the shots; but calling something like that "blatant" seems like a rather confident and serious charge. One which implies that he knows, or at least thinks he knows, that many people agree with him that it qualifies under the board's anti-trolling policy.

If, by chance, that post was not blatant in its trolling qualities, could it then be said that Capo's charge of trolling is in fact trolling? After all, I think many people will feel compelled to defend themselves, given the serious nature of the charge; and if the post was not really trolling, and Capo knew this, is his remark then inflammatory for the sake of getting a reaction?

Maybe I'm also reading waaay more into this then I should be.

Also, Capo, don't mean to put you on the spot on purpose. I thought this was as good a time as any to question such a situation.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
