Well, I read the definition of "troll" online, and I don't think that
there is any textual evidence in my posts to support the belief that I
am a troll. However, judging by the sudden lack of responses to my
posts, I think it's possible that I've been deemed a troll. Or maye
folks just don't hve the time or inclination to respond to this thread
anymore. The later possibility I'd understand, but the former somewhat
incenses me, if it's true. I made a specific effort to thank people
for their help, and I made no attempts to escalate any minor discord,
but only to resolve (although I did not soften or compromise my
opinions). I think the evidence for my claim is firmly established in
all the preceding text. I have to say I find this "troll" label very
worrisome, especially since I do have a sardonic sense of humor, if I
have one at all. Thank you very much for the help I did receive. I
appreciate it.
Pop, I am not a troll, but you did falsely accuse me of posting as one
last year. You of course have absolutely no evidence, and maybe you
don't need any to blacklist me successfully. "word for word" - THAT IS
WHOLLY INCORRECT AND UNTRUE. And read the exchanges between me and Abe
and note how they ended with mutual civility! How was I baiting an
argument? I do not appreciate your very irresponsible and unfair
accusation. After all, aren't you a...communist? Maybe just a
simple-minded dipshit. The hell with you - and to prove I'm not
trolling, this will be my final post to this forum.
