Some of the techniques trolls use to accomplish their objectives are:
Pithy put-downs
Name-calling and insults
Ad hominem attacks that try to negate an opinion by alleging negatives about the person supporting it
Impugning other's motives
Emotional rants
Bullying and harassment
Completely off-topic posts
Posting inaccurate "facts"

Maybe 1 or at best 1.5 out of 8.
And this checklist looks like for someone who is loudmouth asshole, I do not imagine trolling as calling names and getting emotional, I imagine trolling as pretending to be for real when saying some nonsense so that people would be "trolled" and get mad at how stupid troll is while troll would be laughing at them for believing his act. Like people believing that you believe your conspiracy theories and think that you are stupid for believing, while in fact you do not believe and just laugh at how people believe that you believe.
I am pretty sure that ^^^^ is the definition of trolling.
Not being a loudmouth asshole as those check boxes suggest. One of the musts for troll is to keep calm in pretending he is for real. Not to be emotional and loud as that check box suggest.
