The thread is about "trolls" and why one might be accused of being one. I have offered my insights. I was asking for Grampy Bobby's own insights into the topic/

Your "two instances" are presumably " an argument with [a] statistic". And I'm not even sure I know what your argument is.

Then why not simply make reference to the content of his post rather than him personally?

more if i had the stomach for it.

Are we to understand that you have never engaged in trolling FMF?

His post is about "trolls" as was my question. This whole thread is about "trolls". I have been on-topic throughout. I've offered my insights into the accusations of "trolling". We await Grampy Bobby's insights.

You mean the mentioning-dead-relatives and other sinister and horrible kinds of stuff? No.

No GB's original post provided a definition,

An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed
to upset or disrupt the conversation.

Perhaps your comments casting up GBs alleged self confessed trolling in the spirituality
forum were intended to refresh and edify him?

I stand by my on-topic contributions to this thread. I think I have made pertinent points and made them cogently. No "trolling" has been involved, on my part at least.

I am sure he remembers doing it. And I have no reason to think he regrets it at all.

So retrospectively casting up details which could potentially make one appear hypocritical is
your idea of making someone feel good about themselves. Interesting perspective that,
you don't think it could be upsetting? potentially embarrassing?

Whether Grampy Bobby thinks of himself as hypocritical or not is something he could perhaps address in there among his insights when they appear. I don't think any facts I present will have much effect on what he thinks about it.

I think any definition of "trolling" that would include people mentioning or questioning what others have said in public in debates and discussions is daft.

Yes but that's not what you were asked, You were asked if you think they might be
potentially embarrassing, not what GB thinks.
