Condescending?

Interesting word that. My dictionary gives three meanings:

1)To behave with humility, by consenting to perform offices, or accept positions, of a more lowly character than those to which one is entitled by one's merits, attainments, etc.

2) To stoop to unworthy actions, to lower oneself, demean oneself by undignified or low conduct.

3) To behave with affability in one's social or intellectual relations with inferiors, although retaining and to some extent expressing in manner, a full consciousness of superiority.

I wouldn't say that's Troll in any of those senses. A degree of irritation maybe, but that's not the same thing at all.

(And my "exception" wasn't anybody posting on the Mudcat. Someone a lot less articulate than that.)
