I'm not about to excuse trolls who are being deliberately provocative. And that's exactly what he was doing here. The reason you're not picking up on it is multilayered. For one, he might be a friend to some of you and you're not accustomed to his previous behaviour towards me or whatever conversations we might have had in the past on the forums.
At a glance, TRJF's brain mashed up the title of the thread and your name as "vagpenguin". TRJF thought it was funny and wanted to share the funny thing with us. Even if TRJF came in here to be "deliberately provocative", your response would be seen as ill-proportioned. My criticism of you keeps bouncing between fragile, socially awkward, and someone who doesn't know how to pick his battles. So toughen up, learn to read the room, and know when a fight is worth fighting.
I don't agree, and you're being condescending for no other reason than manic herd mentality. I've got no tolerance for bullshit and if I perceive I'm being mocked, however subtly, I'll respond likewise or even worse.
