I don't see any trolling there. Hurtful cynicism, yes, but that isn't trolling. I think people are genuinely questioning the story and, whilst that may well be misplaced, you have to ask, is it not understandable? Why are people so cynical? Why do they feel like they've been hoodwinked? The answer is, because people are so accustomed to being conned by the media that it's the default fall back position. Years of being naive to media lies has created a generation of cynics that wants to show that it's not so easily fooled.

I think that - in combination with people just not having a good medical understanding of terminal cancer care (very unpredictable, people given 6 months to live can still be around 5 years later, or it can become 2 days to live over night) - is the source of this

It's not the simple pursuit of malice for entertainment. That is what trolling is. Though the DM has never quite grasped the definition... Anyone who questions the McCann case or indeed even just suggests that the Monarchy is outdated and needs to go is branded a "troll".

The only even slightly trolling comment there is the "refund" one.
