It's a vibe, hard to explain. Are you very familiar with Sherlock Holmes? Because if you're not, well -- the story reference they make here, the comparison to the adaptations (which are all far more ridiculous than the stories), and the tone of their complaint are all absolutely trolly and make no sense for someone to have. If someone read the stories and genuinely hated the stories, they just wouldn't phrase a secret this way. If it's not an out-and-out troll secret, it's definitely faked in some way to be more sensational.

I'm familiar with Sherlock Holmes through pop culture osmosis. It's been years since I read any of the stories and I've forgotten them, so I'm not familiar with that story.

Thanks for the explanation. A part of me still thinks it's not totally a troll secret. Maybe a bit sensationalized like you said though.

My first thought was literally, "Of all the things you could pick on, you settled on The Adventure of the Speckled Band? Really?"
