Is it considered abuse on boards to call some a troll?

As per title really. (edit; actually on reading the title should read "someone" rathe than "some") Thanks. Normally I would report what I consider abuse directed at me or others to the mods but the forum mod thanked the post where I was called a troll. So I am a little confused especially as I seen someone banned last week…

No user on Boards (or any other moderated discussion forum for that matter) should ever feel the need nor expect to get away with calling another user a troll. Attack the post; not the poster and all that. If that member feels so strongly that their contention is indeed correct and the user in question is clearly posting with a nefarious intent and/or motivation - then just report them.
