Tptacek seems to be worried more about drawing attention to particular trolls than to trolling in general. If you comment on a troll comment, you draw attention to it and lift it up the page giving it more visibility at the expense of more useful posts. In contrast, this thread/submission doesn't give any more visibility to any particular troll, but does provide a place for meta-discussion on dealing with them.
