That's the problem in a nutshell. About 95% of the people out there think the definition of "troll" is "someone who disagrees with me", and I don't see how you ever really get away from a subjective determination.

Because it's a fundamentally subjective evaluation. There is no way to objectively define "trolling".

Oh it's been very objectively defined. Knowing when someone is trolling, or when they legitimately believe what they're saying is the problem.

So...it's defined, but it's impossible to know whether it's happening unless the person specifically tells you they're trolling? That sorta seems like a flawed definition.

Can you define lying? Has lying been defined? Check your dictionary.

Knowing what a lie is is not the same as knowing when someone is lying.

I can prove something is false. I can't prove someone else's motivation.
