13. this is a very broad definition!
"Trolling aims to elicit an emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply key. A really subtle troll makes some people lose their minds."

Does this mean we are all trolls? Going after legit freepers is one thing, but every person has a different way of expressing their views. This doesn't mean that they are cowardly or "beneath us".

Are you suggesting that if a DUer has a strongly felt point of view, he or she should not post it, but just keep to themselves?
