Not a bad point, but I suspect the Venn diagram is similar in the centre
for most.
Since when are you not a troll yourself?

This Alan Browne really wants to get rid of trolls.
He trolled the Windows newsgroup saying that he wanted to buy a Microsoft laptop because he didn't like that his Mac was stuck in the walled garden.

Instead of complaining about trolls, just set up filters.
Here is my filter list from Thunderbird: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16N5HMDVnr6nzdp-jfNi9JhcNHHkQyITqAcG2ZBBKKFo/>.
Many of those are probably no longer necessary, they just build up over
time, especially as some of the trolls do nymshifting. Some are filters
for off-topic subjects that appear from time to time.

LOL, they are welcome to filter me out!
The reality is that even though our favorite trolls post copious amounts
of misinformation, they actually learn a lot from my posts since I
always am careful to post links and references that back up what I
write. I know that this infuriates them, especially because they almost
never back up anything that they post. So be it.
The documents I've prepared are also designed to correct the
misinformation promulgated by the trolls. I've made several corrections
as a result of e-mails I received pointing out mistakes, but never from
any of our most profligate trolls.

If you filter them out how do you know they’re not backing up their claims?
Personally I think it’s cowardly to create controversy and ignore those who refute you. Maybe you’re using a sock puppet for that.

If they are able to discuss things intelligently instead of engaging in
dumb responses like "not true" without any data or explanation, then I'd
be happy to engage. But they don't do that.

I wish Michele Steiner and David Empson were still posting on this ng
because she was an adult (like you and Ant are) and David Empson always put >> nospam and Jolly Roger & Lewis where they belonged and they had to agree.
They didn't dare tell David Empson their bullshit because every time they

Which happened a lot.
Having said that I miss David Empson, I have noticed a lack of Lewis.

Empson and Steiner are before my time on this newsgroup so I am unfamiliar with them. Lewis is missing but that’s no loss.
I think the term “troll” is so misused that it’s become inconsequential. It
used to be that “trolling” was the act of someone stating something to purposely provoke a reaction. Now anyone who is disagreed with is called a troll.

Why is it necessary to post provocative political statements which are
bound to alienate a significant amount of people? Your signature could
just as easily be something amusing or technical. Hopefully not like
the one Ant has though...

The mere fact that you refuse to acknowledge your signature is designed to provoke people is proof of your trolling.

invoke conversation. You’ve proven my point. Thanks!

Lewis is missing but that's no loss.
it's the intentional and deliberate lies that are the problem.

While I agree with the political statement, I also would prefer
that political and religious signatures not be used.
Humorous, pithy, or deep quotations are more appropriate.

This morning I ran speed tests on AT&T (Boost), T-Mobile, Verizon
(Total), and my Xfinity broadband.
I added those tests to the Coverage Differences document because it's >important when choosing a carrier that you also look at data speeds.
While it makes little difference over 100Mb/s, below that it is a
concern.
I included information on where to get trials for each mobile
network, for both SIM and eSIM, for free or for minimal cost, either
direct from the mobile carrier, or by using an MVNO.
