There is also a school of thought that is of the opinion that only the
most
stupid of group members respond to trolls who admit to being trolls.......
''Troll' is just a name, you know - just words. It's like being a National
Socialist - the title engenders irrational panic in the misinformed, yet
it
could be changed to something else and the doctrine would still be just as
beneficial for the country.
So, if 'troll' bothers you, feel free to call me by another name. 'Sir',
is
always a good choice....
'A neo-Nazi Troll by any other name...", as the Bard might have remarked.
