Ok, Robert, here we go again. My labeling of you as a troll was in
response to this post:

I dinged you for being rude and lacking content, not simply for being
new. You took exception to this:

In return, I offered some advice:
You're not likely to gain much credence here if you start out with
scatological notes and don't back up your assertions with evidence.
The burden of proof is on you- where's your beef?
That is *not* a catch-22. It was a request for you to back up your
"fighting words" with evidence. I'm not a moderator, not do I have any
position of authority here. Playing the victim card isn't likely to
gain you much credence, either. Argue the issues, not the personalites.
