    Disagreeing is often treated as trolling by those you disagree with, depending on the subject. Mostly because those disagreements are often bad faith talking points from some groups of people.

      Forming a counter argument is time consuming and requires you to think about the topic.

      Calling someone names and labeling them a “troll” is much easier.

      Repeating bad faith talking points isnt trolling. To me its a perspective issue. What I think is bad faith talking points might be reality to another person.

      The person who identifies disagreement as trolling needs to grow up.

        Back in my day, trolls would say something that pisses off both sides of the argument and makes people more aggressive towards each other.
