The troll's posts are never an attempt to help people "chill out". They're always just trying to get people more agitated.
Yes, there are sometimes people who try to calm a debate (and I have been one of those people in the past), but there is a difference between posting a "chill out, guys", and a "ROFL HA HA FACEPALM".
As for completely ignoring your points, Boom:
No, I did not. I don't think your solution is possible. AFAIK there is no forum software available to allow the players to moderate. Might I add that you are not trying to find a middle ground, either. You will accept nothing short of player moderation (which, by the way, strangely enough, all of the moderators ARE players). I suggested that perhaps the process by which the moderators are selected could change, and you ignored that point.
Just because someone is not willing to compromise in a debate does not make their standing any less reasonable.
