Aha, you can tell a troll a mile off, he starts a thread and doesn't come back into the discussion.

He has been invited to name the thread where he was attacked and hasn't done so. Most of us here don't like newcomers being attacked for no reason and will be prepared to defend said newcomer to the hilt. But I suspect that that is not the case here.

I'm guessing that if things quieten down on this thread he'll be back like a shot with his wooden spoon.
