I don't know that people are being *offended* by being called "trolls", but
if we're trying to re-create history, then using actual historical terms
instead of something cutesy and made-up makes more sense. I'm pretty sure
that the person in charge of, say, the gates to a city *wasn't* called a
"troll" (at least not to his face <G>) in period.
