No, you're not the only one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
Common types of troll messages or activities:
off topic messages — "Can anyone help me make a webpage?" "No, this is a music forum."
inflammatory messages — "You are an idiot for including this type of message in your list."
messages containing an obvious flaw or error — "I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is Roman Polanski's best movie."
intentionally posting an outrageous argument deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error
including offensive media such as annoying sound files or disturbing pictures in a message
deliberate and repeated misspelling of other people's nicks in order to disturb or irritate them in a conversation.
I'd say that pretty much nails him.
There is also another type of troll, not mentioned in this article, the "defender" troll - a person who defends a troll claiming he's a poor sick/disabled/lacking skills person and as such not meant to be mocked at.
