Edit: I agree that trolls should not be discussed on chat and mainspace. I was only pointing out that it's an unwritten rule. Drones is on point here, the fact is that the rule doesn't exist, a different rules does, but prohibition of and troll discussion does not apply to it.

What should've been done, Instead ignoring any issues and outright changing things without community approval, was to discuss if the rule needs to be added. The rule is there: don't feed the trolls. Full stop. Talking about them is basically spreading unnecessary publicity and panic. That is already written. Whoa, whoa, whoa, panic? That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? While I agree with the unnecessary publicity part, panic is a bit too much. No one is going to be afraid of a troll that, at most, will harass you.
