troll
An electronic mail message, Usenet posting or other (electronic) communication
which is intentionally incorrect, but not overtly controversial (compare flame
bait), or the act of sending such a message. Trolling aims to elicit an
emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply key. A really
subtle troll makes some people lose their minds.
