Definition of Trolling

So has El Reg gone down the line of changing the definition of a troll from 'prat who likes to get a rise out of people on-line' to 'anyone you disagree with' or is trolling the term the researchers used? Hate speech is hate speech - it isn't trolling - and calling it trolling, instead of what it is, legitimises it to a degree because 'it's only trolling'.
