I'll take a very unlike myself opinion in this - I'll support patent trolls, but only if their exploits are increased by a thousand fold and punishes the entire patent system for being incredibly inept, antiquated, and against any and all forms of innovation. We need serious and far ranging complete patent reform (or revolution) and if deliberate brute-force use of the horrendous laws and regulations that have allowed those entities to proliferate over the last several decades finally forces changes, then bring on more of them. Short term they are horrendous, long term we may need them to force positive changes that benefit and are on the side of small-time inventors and problem solvers, and not the mega-corporations (patent trolls with massive capital). tl;dr: Patent trolls are bad, the patent system that enables them is bad, we need to force massive patent reform.
