What I am more interested in is the liminal space between the perception of
the troll and the face-bending positivity which consists the locus of the
critical, which I believe is somewhat in contention ­ at least in art.

"The negative troll engages in deliberately illegal and/or damaging and
disruptive behaviour <http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Griefing>  with
highly destructive effects, such as online vandalism (like those
intentionally defacing RIP sites
<http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread850335/pg3> ) and continuous
aggravation through comments designed as bait for responsive targets
(cyberbullying 
<http://bc.ctvnews.ca/alleged-amanda-todd-tormenter-tracked-down-1.997244>
). 

There are those that think the act of trolling may also operate at a far
more innocuous level, originating from those with more positive intentions
or altruistic motivations. This troll version is termed the constructive
troll <http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f7/operation-dustyce-696539/> . The
constructive troll advocates social change through exposing establishments,
organisations and individuals they view as corrupt, deceptive, or criminal
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLDHx2OhXA&feature=related> . Constructive
trolling differs from negative trolling through its lack of malevolence
(think: Devil¹s advocates or whistleblowers) with a deliberately funny, or
cheeky, emphasis 
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Td1tOAJxY&feature=related> . Constructive
trolls may seek to bring attention to issues like the suppression of freedom
of information laws
<http://epublications.bond.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1432&context=h
ss_pubs> , covert censorship, or hypocrisies evidenced at a
heavily-institutionalised level (think: Wikileaks or the Occupy
movement)..."
