A troll is someone who looks for arguments/flamewars online. It is a bit of a dual meaning. First: you go 'trolling' when you are fishing, slowly crusing with your bait dragging behind waiting for a bite, much as people write inflamatory posts and wait for someone to take the bait and continue the argument. Second: trolls are stupid ugly beasts with thick skin. Much as internet trolls are not easily offended and are usually stupid beasts.
Also, drop the term 'netiquette' into a search engine... I seem to think that once found me various resources worth checking.
