Depends.
Flat Earth Society, yes.
Pretending to be a crack pot right wing-er in the news section, no.
It is if them trolling didn't contain magnets... nor gifs on chatroulette...
When done well, it is.
imo
When done well and in a sophisticated manner, it is. To "troll" someone you will also need to be pretty good at argumentation and have a certain knowledge of the subject (high-level trolling, that is).

The battle continues...
It can be, apart from when you get idiots who think annoying people = trolling, at which point it is not.
Depends:
If by trolling, you mean make yourself look like a brainless idiot, then no, it's not an art.
If you pull it off well, your targets will truly get angry. That's not easy, and that's where the art comes in.
Being an actual idiot however, and then calling yourself a troll, is simply idiocy. Not trolling.

If someone thought out a whole scheme and carried it out with success, it could be considered an art I guess.
Yes, and NO!
Trolling USED to be art. now it is just bunch of kids making fights in the internet.

Yes it is.
When it's done right.
When it's clever, and advanced.
Not when it's just you going "Fuk u wii has super graafhiks card, crysis jelous"
Nowadays people think that trolling is equivalent to random insults. For example:
Person 1: Faggot.
Person 2: What?
Person 1: LOL I TROL U
That's not trolling.
But when it's done correctly and not random insults, it's art.
It's more of a skill, but anything can be art so yes
not anymore, it used to be, now it trolling to say somone is stupid.

What do you mean Not anymore?
What was trolling before 'trolled' on internet communities?
Heckling? Causing negative reactions? Trying to get a rise out of someone? It's been going on for a lot longer than the internet.

I wouldn't really call it an art. Art, to me, is to express emotions or an idea that the artist has which he/she conjures through symbols.
Trolling is to get a reaction from another person. I wouldnt call it an art.
all trolling is art
pretty much everything is art
There are many definitions of art. A superior skill can be considered an art, I just think that this defines my understanding of what art is:
"the creation of beautiful or significant things; "art does not need to be innovative to be good"; "I was never any good at art"; "he said that architecture is the art of wasting space beautifully""
lol thread, yes

Also, trolling doesn't have to be done via the internet.
I think I was pretty fucking successful at trolling when I was ClavusElite.
