The only time in recent memory that I can remember actually being bothered by a troll (actually being irked and annoyed, as opposed to simply trolled) was when I was being actively trolled super-spam-noisy-action-and-demented-emote style by a roleplayer who I knew roleplayed and I had roleplayed with on a different character and they had seemed like a nice, open, welcoming person.
Then they started teabagging my face and I felt like I'd been stabbed in the back, and I snapped at them in tells. Hoo boy, was that the worst idea ever. After I ignored them, they ended up calling in friends and when we tried the disperse and regroup thing they hunted us down until we finally instanced ourselves. Gragh. I reported the hell out of them, but ehhh.
Most of the time I enjoy a good troll, so giggly OOC inviting them to join in or noticing the stiff breeze from the Blizzard spells is easypeasy. But the repercussions for letting them know their harassment is working can be incredibly intrusive. If you can avoid it by being on their side just a little bit, you're so much better off, soooo much.
