You don't see much trollin' on these forums... anyone who says otherwise has led a very sheltered online existence.
The only two subjects you see genuine troll-posts about are piracy/copyright (generally only once the thread has gone beyond eight pages or so) and those disparaging people who use ereaders in general.
The Kindle owner who made a post criticising Sony's market-strategy wasn't trolling. I imagine that was his genuinely-held opinion, and he had some intention of starting a discussion by stating it. It wasn't trolling, even if it was an opinion that he knew people on that sub-forum wouldn't want to hear and if the discussion prompted by it was not likely to be very valuable.
Far too often, people call 'troll' because someone makes a post that seems ignorant or even simply because they disagree with it.
I wish I could find an example of real trolling that I felt was suitable to link to on this forum... but sadly the best examples all involve either inflammatory language, the expression of offensive sentiments in an ironic-voice or at least inappropriate banner-ads. True trolls do it only for the lulz... .
If you have the steely will and robust constitution required, I would recommend a Google search for 'P-P-P-Powerbook' and 'Craig's list concealed weapons trolling.'
