Provide an example, and I'll show you the context. You are free to claim it wasn't trolling of course. Troxx is trying to change the definition of trolling right now. The readers can decide how honest you are.
Let's look at this thread: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...62#post3634462. Jimajam starts with some pointed but gentle disagreement:

Again, disagreed. What matters is how characters end up geared, not statistics. Statistics may guide creation and gearing decisions but if those decisions don’t meet their objectives then the statistics must have overlooked some assumptions.

Rip’s Magelo is very top end. Yours is decent. Yet both have issues capping core tank stats with/without buffs.

I thought you said having high str gave the ability to focus on +int gear though? Maybe you need to follow your own advice more aggressively if you really value int over str/sta?
Then he gives an objectively fair assessment on the disparity between your perspective and mine:

DSM values levelling as an ordeal to go through that unlocks end game. Others view the end game just being a postgame/'winners room' for people that exhausted/completed the real game content (levelling up).

IMO this is why he values levelling stats much lower than endgame bis stats.
Then he responds to DSM again, ending his post with:

Confirmed mad treble post!
DSM starts his response by accusing Jimjam of misreading:

You completely misread my post in it's entirety.
And ends by somehow misinterpreting this clearly self-deprecating joke as an insult.

I am not mad at all. I am simply pointing out that people continue to post insults and baseless opinions. It is honestly sad that people care so much about trying to be right, that they are willing to mislead new players.
Jimjam, pleasantly & politely, points out that it was self-deprecating:

I was the one who made the treble post, hence am the mad one, DSM. Please reread my post as you have not understood. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
And then DSM bites his face off:

Please stop trolling threads that are designed to help new players. Why do you need to be so destructive and unhelpful?
Jimjam was hurt:

Wow. I've not insulted you once, yet you accuse me of trolling, being destructive and unhelpful?

Claiming "please stop trolling" is biting someone's head off is silly. This alone shows you are reading this exchange in a biased manner, where you are showing Jimjam in a positive light, and me in a negative light.

I disagree that Jimjam was being polite here. It sounded like he was mocking my honest assessment that he needed to re-read my post by reposting "Please reread my post as you have not understood". Mocking someone like this is an example of trolling.

I have nothing against Jimjam. If he says he didn't mean it in that way, I'll be happy to retract what I said. I never call someone a troll without a reason. It's possible I misread someones intent, but I am not using this as some tactic to discredit people. Your example doesn't show this. What else do you have?
