No, and take your teletubby talk of "trolling" back to Wikipedia where people might give a crap. Denouncing someone as a "troll" here is meaningless, and just makes you look a fool.
Denouncing someone as a "troll"
anywhere generally means that they're saying something you don't want to hear.
Indeed, the mere act of calling someone a troll is just another form of trolling, as it is said to provoke a reaction.
Or as Wikipedia puts it (in a sentence which could use 3 or 4 {{fact}} tags):

Experienced participants in online forums know that the most effective way to discourage a troll is usually to ignore him or her, because responding tends to encourage trolls to continue disruptive posts — hence the often-seen warning: "Please do not feed the trolls".
Sometimes it's more fun to join in, though.

Nothing like trolling the [[troll]] article. C'mon, you know you wanna do it.
