An Internet troll I think comes from a conflation of trolling for a fish and a troll a monstrous being that lives under a bridge and eats goats.

Basically it is someone who posts a provocative message on Usenet, an e-mail list or a board like this with the intent of getting a number of people upset and annoyed and then the troll sits back and enjoys the rage and storm while "innocently" throwing fuel on the flames.
