I think that is the worst thing trolling has done to internet culture: People will assume that their conversation partner is not arguing in good faith as the standard assumption.

The enlightened way is to treat everyone as sincere, even if they aren't. Trolls who pretend to be bigots are actual bigots. I try to give correct answers that would also offend the poster if they were a troll.
