outrageous provocation to the list!!

troll 
An outrageous message posted to a newsgroup or mailing list to bait people to
answer. Trolling is a form of harassment that can take over a newsgroup or
mailing list. Well meaning defenders can create chaos by responding to trolls.
The best response is to ignore it.
