Posts/comments from troll posters specifically design to attract/provoke regular/certain members to have a "confrontation" with them and try to make a situation look in such a way that its not a troll's fault, behaving as a drama queen. This is very common occurrence in multiple forums, especially in multi-national and in tech forums. Some people talk/brag about their religion/country/caste/gender/social or personal achievements unnecessarily that they are simply irritating members and provoking them for a flame war. In such situation, usually an inexperienced moderator/administrator of a forum who can't see the obvious will warn/ban the person who was provoked by the troll, but its pretty obvious that his/her droll is specifically meant to do that. If the troll is caught, he claims that it is simply a "misunderstanding". Don't feed the trolls or else they will droll all over you!!! Urban Dictionary
