I don't think its the case that people don't recognize it as a troll thread -- indeed some of the most active threads on the forums were started as troll threads and people took them in other directions. I find the dynamic kinda interesting "right, we see you are trolling but while we are waiting for the patch to arrive why see if we can take this in our preferred direction"
I don't think I've ever seen a forum with so many troll threads that became serious. Or one that had a many trolls that disrupted the attempts of other trolls to agitate. It's interesting.
