I think that many of the people labeled "trolls" on WP aren't "trolls" in the classic sense because they really believe in the positions that they take. They are just very obstinate about their positions and can't take "no" for an answer.
You mean like Martin Luther King, Jr. was?
If your fighting real life oppression then sometimes taking "no" for an answer is noble and the right thing to do. If you're trying to get your way on a website then it rarely ever is and can be counterproductive to your position. "Nobody likes listening to dicks no matter how right they are".
