I quite agree with you. I'm only saying that when you talk about bullying to third parties using the word "troll", sometimes the third party will imagine something less serious than is actually happening.
Ah, I see - I overlooked the fact of being rooted in internet culture for longer and more deeply than the general population sometimes impedes communication.
I'm always on the lookout for better words to get key concepts across so I'll add 'troll' to my list of terms that need a better descriptor.
