Choosing who you are

[awty]

OLB isn't a troll.  His views, questions, topics may not sit well with some but the tight little group that is determined to troll him at every turn have done a fine job painting him as a troll.

I can pretty much list who is going to jump on the 'argue with OLB bandwagon'.  It's so predictable and trollish.

He isn't responding to actual arguments with an argument of his own. I also don't think he's a troll. I think he's mildly flaming. You don't have to be part of a tight little group to know that he has a habit of starting threads he knows are controversial and only responding with overly pithy answers. If he responded with any kind of sincerity to the number of posts here that are legitimately debating his point, I would agree with you to some extent. However, he hasn't, and he has a history of that. That's all well and good, but it's not defensible. It's just getting bored and stirring the pot.

Well that helps open the door for the stalker that follows OLB around to start crap no matter what he posts.  I guess that's acceptable.
