  18. Bait: 1. deliberately annoy or taunt (someone). 2. prepare (a hook, trap, net, or fishing area) with bait to entice fish or animals as prey. Troll: 1. informal make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them. 2. fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat. or carefully and systematically search an area for something. all of the parts to show you how you're misinterpreting are in bold: when you say "troll", you actually mean "bait". now you don't need to define "troll" with a boat, no, that was just an attempt at humor, truly, i don't think you could really take it as anything other than exaggeration, for effect, that i pointed out zero boats. but in effect, you are still wrong to call what people do in real life "trolling" unless it involves the concept of leaving a message online to provoke or upset, seeing as what you mean is "bait". now you don't need boats, or a line, or a fish, no, but you do need to understand what i'm saying, when you say "troll" it carries a connotation. you're talking about online trolls...unless you mean the mythological troll, i guess...because the other kind of "trolling", the kind you're referring to, involves towing a baited line along a boat, on water, presumably; it's literally "baiting" that you're referring to when pointing to what Alex Jones did. because that is the actual word/term you're looking for: see above. don't commit to the fallacy of extension. i am literally right. this is insuperable for you to wiggle out of with selective attention. if you have a rebuttal, i'll grant it, but take note: i have not stated that you can't use the word troll to define something that isn't trolling, but i would argue that it's less prevaricating to use the proper term "bait", in real world contexts, so people wouldn't presume that anything less than a prank would suffice for the term "troll" being used, seeing how it's hard to bring internet terms into the real world without making the language used more obfuscating. rebuttal? or no?
