I wouldn't even call what he is talking about "trolls". It's mainly goof-offs posting snarky comments and not trying to get anything started. There will be a few that will try to troll a comment section but most are off to another article to post snarky comments. Sometimes the snarky comments are funny and to the point and that wouldn't be trolling either. And of course Morford claims not to read the comments section as his solution (bet he does sometimes).
Sure, we get snarky posts here but then they will stick around to see if their "troll" worked.

Why do you suppose they would be so insecure that they would post fibs about trolls on FFL? Where is Dr Pete when we need him? Go figure. "Sociopathic, sadistic, narcissistic, cruel by nature, highly unpleasant to be around. They love to cause pain. They delight in ruining the beautiful. The more pure and integrity-filled something is, the more they enjoy corrupting it." http://blog.sfgate.com/morford/2014/02/18/how-to-eat-an-internet-troll/
