Trolling certainly used to mean something different to what it has come to mean. It didn't even need to be provocative originally, it was more about baiting someone into responding to something absurd as though it was genuine. Those are still the best trolls in my experience, because they take more ingenuity and even the victim can laugh at it afterwards. My friend and I were notorious for trolling our bosses / senior management many years ago - it got to the point that whenever anything slightly awry occurred, we heard our names shouted across the office.
