Trolling is a fact of life on these forums. But starting witch hunts reflects poorly on all of us.
Effective trolling will raise an issue that people are genuinely concerned about, in such a way as to provoke a defensive emotional response. If I feel someone is subtly trolling in this way, I find the most effective response is to offer a polite, reasoned argument that addresses the raised concerns. This approach is beneficial to any onlooker who shares those concerns, it avoids playing into the hands of the suspected troll. It also avoids needless accusations, which is especially important if my suspicions are wrong and the person is just raising a genuine concern.

Great post this.
The issue is that people often overcorrect for trolls. If one were secure, the opposite of trolling would be the truth. But instead, we have a bunch of people cheerlead with blind faith. I've a long time supporter of drk. I wrote a webapp for it months ago to support it (http://darksend.it). I haven't sold, I've held. I will be putting up more than a handful of masternodes.
All these "trolls" you guys are witch hunting, they have made good points these past few days, which you guys ignore because you're so defensive.[...]
I'd like to think of myself as not defensive.. just dismissive since you clearly are utterly clueless. And maybe I say that cause I know more than you on the topic and it would take too much time to reteach you the holes in your statements. Reread the whole thread and all of these topics have been covered over and over.
+1
Those points have been answered over and over the past months. I'm surprised that a "long time supporter" doesn't regularly check the thread to know those answers.Trolling is a fact of life on these forums. But starting witch hunts reflects poorly on all of us.

When you have politely answered and they keep coming with the same "question" on purpose what do you do ? Because that's what they do, they create a false issue and repeat it till it's "true".
