Well, it would appear that the message you were replying to
was the 
actual troll.  It itself called itself troll food, so the
author 
recognized/admitted part of that, but go back and read it if
necessary.  
He could ignore, but it was a deliberate troll, so he chose
not to.  (And 
me, I didn't respond directly, but here I am responding in
the tail, so 
yeah, I'm rewarding the troll as well.)

You can't ignore what might or might not be a troll if you
are using it 
as a deliberate excuse to do your own trolling, which is
what I see your 
parent post (my grandparent) as being.  Elements of truth,
certainly, 
that's what makes a good troll, but troll it is.
