I've narrowed the definition as defined elsewhere:
-------------------
Trolling is when someone posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in a forum with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
-------------------

Now my two cents (for what thats worth): I would not say this thread started as trolling because it is on-topic (boating on the lake). It may be seen to some people as a controversial topic where people have differing opinions but is is not irrelevant. By definition it would need to have both with intent to disrupt. How do you measure intent? Well, thats difficult to prove, but when it happens enough times by the same person most people can but their finger on it.
