It is if one is just being needlessly rude or aggressive just to annoy/provoke others.

Disagreement or friendly rivalry is fine of course, but we don't need users just being dicks to each other, that just makes the forum experience unpleasant all around.

You just described trolling again.

Antagonism would be strong opposition. This strong opposition doesn't need to be friendly; If I spent money on X game that you love I hated, I'm not going to mince words because you may be annoyed/provoke. I believe that we need not over protect the easily annoyed and provoke. This is a forum where a mass amount of varying quality of opinions will be shared. Make the choice to avoid things that annoy/provoke you. Antagonism should be well articulated(All trolling is not and not intended to be). Its should stimulate. Stimulation is the missing ingredient here. 

Like I say, disagreement is fine, it's when it crosses the line into being rude, aggressive, or purposefully trying to annoy others that it becomes a problem as it ruins the forum for others who just want to discuss things like adults.
