Again, to review, a troll is someone who deliberately upsets people to amuse himself. He may be sincere or disingenuous, but he is always deliberately provocative.
I'm usually very sincere here. I'm occasionally sarcastic, but I try to make that obvious. The only other time you could ever accuse me of being disingenuous is if I'm asking questions that I already believe I know the answer to. This is not meant to amuse or upset anyone, it's just me trying the Socratic method. If you get upset about the use of the Socratic method, it's probably because there are too many unspoken and unsound assumptions in your belief system. Or maybe I'm doing it poorly. But, again. Not trolling.
