As the title, keep seeing this in posts, people saying that something is an obvious troll. What does this mean??

Trolling is deliberately posting controversial things for the sole purpose of starting an argument.

people saying that something is an obvious troll.

People often say this when they don't understand or disagree with the poster in an attempt to discredit them.
Beyond that, I'm not really sure...

in your case it is saying things you dont mean , you are not that daft*, and then doing a pin dance defence of it for sport I assume. I think some [s]folk[/s] idiots think this is trolling.

Sometimes it is humorous - like this and sometimes not

*dips foot in water flicks it back

"Trolling" is against the rules of this forum and that is very definitely a good thing.

It’s heavily associated with anonymous logorrheic’s that like to spout off a great deal, safe in the knowledge that their unlettered posts will not be attributed to them personally in the 'real world'.

Must be the most frequently ignored rule by a massive amount.

coming on here pissed in the middle of the night in a funny mood and typing exactly what you think at that very moment then going to bed and forgetting about it. That's subtle trolling though, cos no one can tell if *serious*.

Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. This may be behind a moving boat, ...

Shouting "troll" is like losing an argument then shouting "oh.....shut up"
