That may be true, but he is being more rational about the situation
that you are. You seem to be using troll as a category to avoid
discussing the actual issues. At least in the post which started this
thread, he hasn't said anything which pins him down as an irrational
abusive troll. Having a personality clash isn't a good reason for
calling someone a troll.
