Trolling (when spelled trawling) is a type of fishing which is
usually done with a net, but sometimes done by dragging bait
through the water and seeing what gets caught.
Trolling (spelled trolling!) is a type of 'fishing' which is
done by sending bait-mail to a newsgroup or mailing list and
seeing how much ire, anger and upset-ness you can catch as a
response.
Fishermen trawl. Trolls troll.
