How do you define "trolling?"

If you definition means that I am trying to bait someone into an argument, then No, I am not trolling.

Nor am I a folkloric supernatural being, or singing.

So I think the answer is No.

Did you mean something else?

Many of the opinions expressed here do not agree with mine. A fair percentage do.

I presume most of you enjoy the agreement you get from one another here. To me, 'agreement' is a pleasant waste of time. It teaches me nothing.

From some of you I learn a lot, that would be from those who don't posture, taunt and deprecate. Unfortunately there is a lot of that going around on the political threads and I find it infantile behavior that undermines the opinions of those who partake.

So no, Alan, I'm not trolling, but I am looking for viable, legitimate content.

Sometimes it shows up here.

And besides, I thought you guys were pros - not lightweights.

Let's see some professionalism here.

This is a troller:

"The reason I thought he was making all those scowling faces was because he saw the latest job numbers and he feels like most Americans -- pretty upset about them," Kerry said.

This sounds exactly like one of the trolling pukes that spend so much time here trying to provoke angry reaction.
