Of course, "troll" often means "person who insists on bringing up something I'm doing wrong even though I keep trying to dismiss him."
It's an accurate use of the term if it's describing someone who keeps resurrecting an issue with a view to causing trouble around it.
That is assuming bad faith, in spades.
Not assuming, Slim Virgin speaks from experience.

Of course someone who is causing trouble is causing trouble--if you've identified them as a troublemaker, they are what you call a trouble maker.
