Highroad Troll

Playing the victim or otherwise ‘doing the right thing’ in a confrontation, but you damn well know you’re stirring the pot, and egging on the other person to get them irate. Typically a high road troll busts out the camera mid argument and records the other person screaming and yelling, but not what lead up to it. They respond calm and collective with zingers to get the other person more fired up. They’ll say after the fact they felt threatened and hurt, but didn’t walked away from the situation.
