I’m curious what you mean by “well-meaning troll”.
Basically, the posts were exactly what a troll would post, but I get the impression they were not posted by way of trollish intentions. Since consequences are what matters, ‘troll’ is still a good description.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is useful to refer to “that duck” even if you think it’s not a duck. It is actually a cleverly-disguised kitten with a speech impediment.
