trolls = narcissists, same behaviour.
"Common examples of baiting include:
Overt insults: such as mocking, taunting or ridiculing with offensive jibes. 
Guilt-tripping: They may play the victim, such as blaming others for their own unhappiness, in order to elicit a response.
Intimidation and threats: Provoking fear or anxiety is a form of emotional blackmail to keep the recipient compliant. For instance, they may threaten to publicly expose secrets, vulnerabilities or insecurities." 1/2

"Triangulation: Sometimes, they will talk badly about the victim to their loved ones and leverage a smear campaign to convince others that the victim is the problem. 
Gaslighting: People may question their sense of reality when a narcissist outwardly denies the baiting, such as flipping the script and saying, "See you always react negatively."
