Ed Gin has absolutely nothing to do with this. I need only compare you
to the definiotn of a troll and quote what you have said of yourself to
make my point. I was remiss in thanking you for you assitance in that
regard.
Here are just but a few characteristics of the troll that you
exemplify...
off topic messages (most everything)
cross posting (a tool often employed)
racist, sexist, classist comments (too many examples to even cite)
messages expressing unsubstantiated opinions as though facts requiring
to proof or evidence (common practice)
messages containing a self-referential appeal to status (recent wine vs
beer commentary comes to mind)
politically contentious messages (attack on liberals come to mind)
adamantly attacking another's point of view and generally affixing a
label (frequently employed tactic)
attempt to make one's personality the center of every discussion (ARBR,
Usenet, the universe ... his "GREATNESS" knows no limits)
deriving pleasure from frustration, anger and pain (assumed)
Self-proclaimed trolls suggest that trolling is a way of improving
discussion ("housekeeping" rhetoric comes to mind)
trolls enjoy the idea that they can waste others' time at comparatively
little effort on their behalf (cut and paste boilerplate is an
indication of this)
self-promotion (no comment should even be necessary)
feigning to be a misunderstood humorist (commonplace)
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Responsiveness has nothing to do with what delineates a troll. You're
merely a responsive troll, but a troll nonetheless. You waffle more

Ed Gin has absolutley nothing to do with this discussion. You are the
one who doesn't know wha a troll is. I know very well wat a troll is.
You should realize that from my post ... Ed Dolan ... Portrait of a
TROLL!!! You are in denial. You fail to recognize that the shoe fits
