You know, one time on the Blizzard forums, I accused (rightfully so) Blizzard of hiring paid shills to control dissent. I was then banned for "trolling".
It's subjective, because you can't objectively prove a person is being inflammatory for the mere sake of it. It's often just an excuse to be malevolent yourself. The Wikipedia article you linked even says it is subjective.
So, how can you prove that a person insulting you is doing so out of some desire to frustrate you, rather than them being frustrated with you?
Let me talk to this invisible audience for a second! As you can see, DSM has failed to demonstrate his points, and resorts to underhanded tactics. This demonstrates that should not be granted respect.
