There was no harm in talking to him and I'd say that he was being a bit of a troll with a nick like that.I saw your example, but I don't know the whole situation behind it so I can't draw a proper conclusion.
In my eyes, a troll is someone who says something solely for the purpose of evoking a reaction. If someone says something for the purpose of debate, they are not trolling, no matter how unpopular their opinion is. This is something that annoys me in forums, people are dismissed as a troll if their opinion is unpopular, even if they are trying to debate their point.
