	I don't know...why don't you tell me?  The [post of yours that I 
responded to sure sounded trollish to me...

	I have been arguing a reasonable case; I just took offense at one 
of your posts, and responded with a mild, limited-scope flame of it.

	I am certainly not making it hard for those who disagree with you 
to speak up; I have been speaking up in disagreement of you...and you call 
me a troll for doing so.  Seems to me that you're the one who is making it 
hard to speak up and disagree with you.

	The real pity is that those who disagree are labeled trolls...
Since when is offering a dissenting opinion a troll?  Do you prefer that 
everybody agree with you, no matter what, and remain polite even when you 
are not?
