As I mentioned in the ancient link, there's no such thing, because I consider that a contradiction in terms, much like "accidental assassination" or "unperturbed terror". You only see the words together when the author is going for rhetorical effect:
> No matter how moronic, argumentative, or misinformed a person might be, they cannot be a troll if they are trying to be honest and their motives are straightforward.
There are many other unflattering labels you can use for the kind of person you describe, but "trolling" implies and requires intent.
