Now let me get the troll's claims straight: s/he posts anonymously, changing identities, commiting to no positions, saying content-free but provocative things, (stirring up legitimate controversy for the sake of airing things is a different matter), disrupting meaningful conversation about material subjects among people with a shared interest in the subject and enough commitment to each other to take responsibility for what they say, and then gives herself/himself points for successfully annoying people? Sucks to be you, I guess. You've played so many games with truth and falsity, it's anybody's guess whether you're for real about your sociology paper. There's the makings of a very good essay in there somewhere. But if your prof approved your methods (jerking around the population you're studying), s/he's so far out of disciplinary norms her/his opinion doesn't count for much. The puzzle is, there's high energy and at least a moderate intelligence (or articulateness) in your posts. Pity.
