Typically, "trolling" is used for the practice of stirring up debate, and 
generate traffic for a thread. The goal is to inflame tempers, distrupt 
the group, and generally give the troll a sense of power and 
accomplishment. In this case, Mr. Rosati was crossing spam with trolling 
when he posted deliberately controversial topics, and just spamming when 
he talks about Ken David's site.
