1. Is (1) Attacking a more subtle form of (13) Trolling?

No. Attacking is outright attacking. Example: You're a f*ckwit, moron, spastic, retarded monkey with no idea about who I am or what I am about.

That is an attacking, unambiguous response to someone.

Trolling, is someone who signs onto forums with no other intention than to post political / motivated topics that create arguments, and then often continue to fuel any responses by arguing fore and against. They have zero interest in anything other than being argumentative and disruptive, trying to turn people against one another.

2. Do you think maybe it's worth providing a brief example or explanation of (1) Attacking language?

Just did.

An attack is very clear versus healthy debate. Hot headed is attacking, as the forum policies already outline that you should walk away if something makes you angry, then come back when calmer to respond with more clarity.

Forum rules 1 - 5 clearly cover this type of question [DLMURL]https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/pages/ptsd-forum-rules/[/DLMURL]. There is no place for attacking... question, clarify and if you cannot discuss, walk away and come back when you can.
