You can't just change the meaning of a word because you feel like it. Using your logic, anyone with some wit or a sense of humor is trolling and has been trolling every day of their life. Even worse, you're double trolling right now since, you are actually disrupting normal on-topic discussion, which is part of trolling. Let's keep it simple and go by what the words actually mean, shall we?
Stop waterbottling me, yo!

By that logic, everybody is trolling when they state something that doesn't have anything to do with the on-topic discussion? That doesn't make sense to me at all, even though, that definition by itself means you were trolling, you stated something that is incorrect, and it certainly did provoke the readers since it obviously was false statement, and it didn't have to do anything with on-topic discussion, so please you tell me?
In the end, as stated by Wikipedia(rofl), you are trolling if you do either A or B, and you have done both? :D

No, it doesn't, as I said, but that was your own logic. A few hours ago I would have been surprised that you had missed the whole "by your logic" indicator.

To even suggest that I was posting for an emotional response or purposefully attempting to disrupt discussion is asinine and quite sad. Or, else, you must say that anyone who cracks a joke around the water cooler at work is trolling :D

Well, that is what I've said in my second post, you were trolling unintentionally. :D
Hey, I work at the Water Cooler Company, I don't think you meant anything good with that, did you? :p

That wasn't my logic, that was said on Wiki. :D

Such a thing cannot be done. What you are trying to say is that I made a comment/joke and was unaware of the repercussions of other interpretations. Which is not only funny because I know completely what misinterpretations can be had and their effects (I just don't care, especially when its a harmless joke like in this instance) but because you are basically saying that any joke is trolling. Er go, you are misusing the term troll, just like damn near everyone on the internet. Being called a troll is like being called gay. 99/100 its a generic insult that has nothing to do with what the word actually means.
Again, to quote Wikipedia:

must have a primary intent of provoking readers
So, what you're saying is that I unintentionally had a primary intent of provoking readers into an emotion such as anger? Listen to yourself. Nevermind that it was a simple joke to illustrate a point, you think that I was somehow trying to upset people. I wasn't trying to upset anyone, except maybe FlyingToilet, but he deserves it. When I want to upset peoploe, you'll know it.
Now, if I made some rant about the imbalances of Hatcheries without any humorous context and then proceeded to direct the conversation towards areas that would imply that I am serious so that I could anger people, then, yes, I would be trolling. But, clearly, I wasn't.

I find your inability to follow the conversation quite entertaining :D No wonder you are misinterpreting post after post and going on and on about the phantoms of your imagination. It's pretty clear I wasn't talking about anything concerning the Wikipedia. You said I was trolling because my comment could be misinterpreted. I said, by your logic, pretty much any joke worth hearing can be misinterpreted. You said, "You're still 'unintentionally' trolling". To which I said, "By that logic, anyone with a sense of humor or wit is trolling."
What does Wikipedia have to do with this thread of the conversation? Nothing. I only brought up Wikipedia to show you the true definition of trolling which can be attested to by anyone who has around the internet before everyone started abusing the word (i.e. 2000).
Damn youngsters.
As for the waterbottling comment, how the hell would I know you work at whatever company that is? I just happened to have a water bottle next to me.
Re: Replay Laugh - Opponent Has Psychotic Breakdown
I know I am really late to this particular conversation, but I have also had the (dis)pleasure of playing this FlyingToilet douche, and, sadly, he's just as bad when he wins. I distinctly remember him ranting I was weak and related refuse (after he went rine rush, which I have trouble with as a Toss). I said if he thought me so weak, then face me in an honest to goodness macro game. He declined, douchely.
