Both are/were just professional trolls. The only real difference is that one of them got murdered. But that just makes Kirk a dead troll, nothing more.

If we are going to make people Person of the Year, based on being killed while doing their job, there are a lot of Police, fire fighters, EMTs, ER personnel, soldiers and political office holders I'd nominate before a professional troll.
