I wonder if you could not feed, e.g. reddit comments and identify long chains of respectful conversations for instance.

It could also be a useful moderation tool by pointing out who first started to troll and devolved a conversation into a fece flinging contest.

You may want to train it on some new data then. The data CoreNLP comes trained with is basically yelp review type of stuff, so people talking about a product. Seems to work fine for people talking about other people too. But I think you will get much better results if you train it to actually detect trolls.
Maybe set up a crowdfund to make the internet's first troll content training corpus.
Try to predict karma scores then?
