It's an insult and when used on Internet communities it has several meanings:
1. Troll is anybody who is disliked by the person who uses that word.
2. Troll is anybody who disagrees with the older users or the administrators.
3. Troll is anybody who intends to destroy a community.
4. Troll is anybody who intends to be entertained at the expense of other 
users.

When used outside the context of Internet communities, a troll is a Nordic 
dwarf and http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=trolling
