It is an insult. "Troll" is a content free emotional word. Non-practicing entity is likewise a useless name. If somebody wants to inform me, they had better say something like "claim 4 of the '387 patent is for accepting coins with a vending machine, which clearly is anticipated by the prior art". Saying "oh noes, evil patent troll" does not inform me. It is sensationalism and gets flagged as the garbage it is.
