It totally wasn't an example of somebody not knowing what a troll is while making a bravado post about their internet cojones.

OK, I'll rise to it.
to quote your earlier linked WIkipedia artical: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response"
this is clearly what you are doing, not totally without success.
as for internet cojones, not really, I'd claim some experience with far worse than you, enough not to get wound up, but no more.

OK, the two terms have gotten rather conflated of late, but I'd argue coming over here to be a tit constitutes fairly gentle trolling and you chosen method is indiscriminate flaming. it might actually be worth while if "I raped your mother today" was not a perfectly acceptable replacement for "good morning" on even the fluffy parts of b3ta.

either I'm being dense or you're being unclear.

And I'm hardly going to leave after eight years because a couple of blue-namers have had a whimper at me.
