Well, it would appear that the message you were replying to was the |
| 12 |
actual troll. It itself called itself troll food, so the author |
| 13 |
recognized/admitted part of that, but go back and read it if necessary. |

He could ignore, but it was a deliberate troll, so he chose not to. (And |
| 15 |
me, I didn't respond directly, but here I am responding in the tail, so |
| 16 |
yeah, I'm rewarding the troll as well.) |

You can't ignore what might or might not be a troll if you are using it |
| 19 |
as a deliberate excuse to do your own trolling, which is what I see your |
| 20 |
parent post (my grandparent) as being. Elements of truth, certainly, |
| 21 |
that's what makes a good troll, but troll it is. |
