huh? Calling a troll a troll is not "name calling". Now, if I had called him a fucking retarded asshat troll wannabe... then maybe you would have a point.

I was trying to consider things from Landrew's point of view, and threw him a bone. He turned tail and ran, probably because the more he spoke, the more he enticed others to expose his ridiculousness. Had he not been so cowardly, and your alleged name-calling actually became a focus of discussion, you would have had my support. It's not like you got red-texted, right? |

I'm just sayin. I don't think labeling him a troll is name calling. He refused to engage in any discussion, and all the other crap you so meticulously detailed...
He may not qualify as trolling for responses, and definitely not a concern troll, but dropping unsubstantiated claims into a forum then acting like a dick when questioned and refusing to discuss or debate... troll-like at the least.

And I'm just sayin', I think that he would have considered it name-calling. I didn't, and would have explained myself had it become an issue... which it has, so I did. |

| Being called a "troll" on a forum has become the highest order of insult. Many would now take being directly called an asshole better. |
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Well, once again, if you are being an asshole and you get called an asshole... it isn't name calling.
