The latter is easier to characterize - it's like the Maryland fan that registers here just to post something like "Coach K sucks! Gary rules!" Regular trolling can be very subtle, but the key is the disingenuousness of the post - the poster is not really here for intelligent debate and/or discussion, but just wants to get their jabs in.
Hope that helps.
