Hi Deneb, I haven't talked with you for a while. I was reading this and thought I'd just throw in the idea that a "real" troll wouldn't have the feelings. Like a the idea of being a troll is that you are there for such wrong reasons that you by definition can't be reached.
Being accused or suspected of being a troll isn't the same as being one. I think being hurt by people's responses is a sign of non-troll.
But I totally understand if you've been accused of the behavior, you might not like a negative description. You are not a troll however.
I hope I'm not misunderstanding some subtle distinction in the internet definition of the word.
