Yeah ... this .... is what I was afraid would happen :)

But its been a popular "technique" I've seen since ~2012 wherein people
who find other people who they can't reach an agreement with are deemed
"trolls", not because they *are* trolls, but because one of the parties
gets so emotionally frustrated by the arguments presented, that they
perceive the stubborn refusal to "see things my way" to be a deliberate
attempt at causing chaos ;)

I mean, "they disagree with me, I'm the fountain of knowledge on this
planet and I can never be wrong, so they must know this, and are
disagreeing with me just to make me unhappy"

Orrr something like that :)

I've taken to countering by assuming when somebody calls me a troll,
that they're saying "you're right, because I don't have the patience to
prove you wrong". ( Its probably a little disingenuous, but no more
than calling everyone you disagree with a troll )
