That's "trawling". As I understood it when I 1st got on the net the word
trolling was used because you're trying to pose as a troll. You eat up
anyone who is stupid enough to cross your bridge (take the bait).
As the old saying goes -- Don't engage in a battle of wits with half-wits;
you have to lower yourself to their level & they have lots more experience
down there.
