Just because someone shares an opinion you don't like does not mean they're trolling.
I dunno - if a post is prefaced with, "In my opinion this/that/the other is gonna happen because of this/that/the other." then that person can be cut some slack and not necessarily labeled as a troll. The way the content of this original post was created was in the spirit of, "This is factual and all comments here is the reason why this/that/the other is going to crash and burn in hell" which lends, in my opinion (see what I did there), the fast track to trolldom. Now, I could have allowed the guy a bit more room, which I did (and I am sure others did as well - evidenced by some posters asking for the OP to clarify his... initial comment) and found that the reasons he/she/it provided held up as well as water in a paper bag.

Also, the post was quite short. It reminds me of an unpinned paintball grenade being thrown amongst a crowd of people. It's small and unobtrusive - if those folks are not paying attention then it has done its job. It blows up and everyone gets lit up with neon pink/green paint.

So please, do not deign to lecture anyone of us about not knowing what a "troll" means. Thank you.
