"A true troll doesn't really care one way or another about the issue supposedly under discussion."

That's a valid point. Witness the thread and multiple thread entries on the same day (can't remember which) concerning the relative dimensions of my gluteous maximus. That was posted deliberately to get a response. There are other postings that are continuations of previous arguments. I think there needs to be a bit of leeway for the argumentative/discussive guest, but the rude ones need to be stamped on pretty quickly before they do anyone some psychological damage.
