When did "troll" lose its meaning?

[The Mad Hattress]

Why do people today think it means "anyone I disagree with" even when they don't admit that usage to themselves?

[Kaiser Ducky]

When someone calls you a troll, that just means they're an overly-sensitive ♥♥♥♥ who disagrees with your opinion.

To be a troll, you don't need to have everything listed from comment one. Just one of them will tell you apart from a troll. And you insulted me by saying I didn't know anything. But I am willing to let it slide.

Now you are trolling me by knowing it's a slogan in Game of Throns and then act like it was a insult to you, your name isn't even John Snow -.-

Never watched game of thrones. And most trolls don't call you by your name, so that is why I read it as such.

Trolling or a troll is, the art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame.

The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.
Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.

Signs that your trolling is succesful:
*Your victim screaming in all-caps at you.
*Personal attacks (Calling you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, idiot, etc).
*Being an Internet Tough Guy.
*Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort.

Signs that your trolling is unsuccesful:
*Your victim identifying you as a troll.
*Identifying yourself as a troll.
*Your efforts being ignored.
*Being counter-trolled (See below)

Counter-trolling (Or reverse trolling) is an effective method of redeeming yourself after being trolled. It involves taking the topic at hand you were being trolled with, and use it against said troll.

Because it's another way of trolling.
