Mlizzy, I checked out 90 and 91 and it appears that:

1. The liberal avoth forgot he was supposed to act conservative.

or

2. The conservative avoth forgot he was supposed to act conservative.

In either case, he was trolling for reactions and then playing off those reactions. Trolling is a fishing term and not a billy goats gruff term.

I suppose it all depends on your history with the site, as to whether you're considered to be personally attacking, just plain ol' debating, or seriously trolling. (I have been accused of personal attacks on FR, trolling, improper apostrophe usage, and the "F" word has been used against me more than once.)

When I was respectful to Avoth, he/she was respectful back; that's all I can personally ask of someone. If he/she was playing a game, so be it; I always like to initially err on the side of caution ...
