Well, I use it fondly for you and Roadbeer. You're sort of gentlemen trolls by internet standards. Using sarcasm, irony, and facts rather than pure vitriol implies a level of classiness.
I'm also betting this results in a response about how you're not really a smart ass because they're xyz...

well see here's the thing
My snark is in direct response to attacks or just stupid posts. If the person I'm talking to in a thread thinks they're going ot eb "cute" and use sarcasm or personal attacks then I'm happy to oblige them. So as you surmised my trollisms are relegated to those who started it
See? I'm not a troll, I'm an anti-troll. Kinda like the whole anti-venom thing a while back in Spider-Man comics. I troll for the good of teh community....
nah ok I couldn't even keep a straight face for that one. I'm a sarcastic smart ass by nature. Sometimes people around here make it VERY easy or are just asking for it! I never troll new players though, and I never ever troll someone who posts a well thought out thread even if I disagree with it.
I still stand by what I said. If you don't agree with people and post anything contradicting an op's statement, many times you're just called a troll because it's the easiest way to get people to dismiss your ideas. It's one of the more common tactics around the internet when someone says x, someone posts y, and then I post z that contradicts them.
