DSM will label anyone who disagrees with him a troll. Now, I'm not sure if he sincerely believes it or if it's just a defensive stunt he pulls when he's at a loss on what else to say or backed in a corner.
Devils Advocate: He
sincerely believes it.
How do you actually deal with a troll? You ignore the troll.

In short:
Trolling is when someone deliberately tries to upset others online.
Trolling can lead to a pile on, when others join in the attack.
Don’t feed the trolls – responding is likely to make things worse. Report the abuse instead.

Unfortunately, DSM's definition of trolling falls somewhere between
-Anyone who disagrees with me
-Anyone who agrees with someone who I disagree with
-Anyone who makes fun of me for how I behave/think/post on the internet or the status of the threads where I am an active participant
By that definition ... everyone else WILL be troll, because most intelligent adults will meet one of those 3 criteria.
