So what's trolling, then? Isn't it trying to sucker someone into debating
something? (albeit civilly or not) Was that the point of your sensationalism
on Jeremy's point? To get someone *else* to respond who was such a
fundamentalist? Not that I have anything wrong with trolling for things like

fundamentalist point, yes? I don't see anything particularly wrong with it,
excepting the general negative connotations assumed in "trolling"-- Why be
defensive about it? (1)
