Good definition, but I have trouble labeling someone as a 'troll' because they might just want to spark an interesting discussion (and often those can be a bit contentious), or they might just be risking the reveal of an unpopular opinion.  So I reserve the name 'troll' for those whose motivation is to disrupt and offend -- to intentionally destroy.
