What about people who really are trolls? Don't they deserve civility? I can imagine someone being a real troll and not being upset by people being uncivil towards them, but civility isn't only for people who require it here. Regardless of whether they are affected by incivility or not, everyone should be protected.
An extreme example: If Hitler was here but he was civil and people started saying he was an evil person, that would be putting Hitler down. It doesn't matter if the statement was true and it doesn't matter if Hitler wasn't upset by the incivility.
There shouldn't be discrimination between good and bad people. Everyone should be protected.
