Yes, you were challenging me. Which is not a bad thing. In trying to
understand my point of view you were asking questions which I may, or may
not have had an answer for. For those questions that I had an answer for,
I stated my answer. For those questions where I didn't, I had some thinking
to do to find the answer that fit within my ethics. It is a great way to
find the true answers (those that you believe in whole-heartedly) within
yourself.
As far as trolling, well sometimes it's just fun to make a statement that
you know is going to get flamed. It's a good way to find out where your
debate partner is coming from.
