**I'm seeing one right now, fella. More points lost.
Like I'm worried.
Zot patrollers, troll patrollers, and assorted paranoiacs do far more harm to the tenor of debate than do the particular types of trolls they exclusively hunt.
Trolls come in all flavors, and express all sorts of points of view. The most notorious troll of the California Recall, if you'll recall, was drmartinvonnostrand, who flipped from McClintock to Schwarzenegger within 48 hours of signing on. It was obvious from the start he was a toll, but many of the Arnold folks ate him up, because they agreed with him.
I'm not wagging a finger at you; I don't recall your take on the good doctor. I'm simply pointing out that for many folks, the definition of troll hinges on the positions a troll takes or doesn't.
I define trolls by their styles of argumentation, intellectual honesty, and sincerity with which they enter a debate.
