For some people, I've noticed, the definition of disruption takes either the 
form of "Doing something I don't like" or "Making heated discussion". 
Disruption though, is more along the lines of being POINTed, page moves, 
etc.

Far too many people, in my opinion, simply look at something that they don't 
themeselves like as disruption. The comments cited by Tony show less 
disruption and more of "I don't like their comments, so they are disruptive 
and trolling". Have we all forgotten about assuming good faith, or does that 
take a back seat depending on whom is making the assessment.

I'm not trying to rile things up, I have serious disagreements with the 
definitions of "disruption" and "trolling" that have been used today.
