I, too, have been labeled as a troll on more than a few occasions. I think it really has to do with what you believe and how you state it. In this little web community, you have a lot of people that think and believe in a certain way. That's fine. But when somebody comes in and defies that way of thinking, then automatically they are labeled as a "troll" or "flamer."
It could be a way to dodge the really tough questions and not have to answer them. I don't know. It may be that there is no way to argue effectively against a point that someone has made so a troll label is thrown out and everyone migrates towards another topic to take the pressure off of everyone else. That seems to be the popular method shown around here lately.
Martin, from time to time, has posted some brilliant messages and he gets his message across by using sarcasm and actually trying to put the problem into perspective. Even Amos, from time to time, lists some pretty thought provoking posts. Everybody posts in their own style and what they think will work best and communicate what they are actually trying to say. To label someone as a troll or flamer is to take the easy way out and ignore the topic at hand.


It's really a sad way to live.
