Trolling can be both.
It's any kind of flaming or flame bait. People posting something like "Crapple" are just trying to stir crap up.
Or the thread bashing Jobs for how he got his liver transplant a while back etc. Or coming here with the same tired criticisms about Apple being closed, rehashing the lack of Flash ad naseum which are all things everyone knows and have been discussed to date.
Or coming here--to a forum for LCD screen devices--and bashing LCD screens for reading etc.
Trolling is just any posting where the poster isn't contributing to constructive criticism, but is rather posting inflammatory crap to try to rile people up and start arguments.
The device forum areas should be places for owners to discuss the pros and cons of their products , software, news about them etc., and for people who are interested in the device to ask questions of owners and learn more about the device.
Not a place for people who dislike the company, screen technology etc. to come and slam it to stir stuff up. If those debates have to take place, they should be in general discussions, not the device specific areas.
