well, i'm thinking you posted something about not feeding trolls, because you felt that responding to trolls feeds their egos and gives them a place and right to further jabber on mindlessly about things and provide opinions that really have no relevance or hint of an actual thought.
and what happened is some thought they would respond by providing comical comments in regards to your original post. the fact that some apparent trolls were outed in this thread should not come as a surprise, considering the very nature of the people on this board.
so, by starting a thread about not feeding trolls, you actually wound up doing what you were hoping not to do. the trolls are now being fed, though it's unwise to believe that by opening this thread, you've managed to filter the trolls all to one area. as it seems, someone recently started an insensitive thread about Chris Fischetti, a thread in which i felt it important to respond because, well, that's just my nature.
now, as to your question, yes, i think i understand the whole purpose of what's going on. trolls, however, being trolls, sometimes don't know if they're trolls and take offense to being called that, which means, like it or not, they'll likely get fed one way or another.
