are acting and they don't even know it. What would it be

Slider, the only troll here is you. I've been away for a while and
just look at all the ridiculous posts and commentaries in the meantime
- all from you.
You, sir, are the troll. Change your ways or there will be no one
here whatsoever.

just trolling or asking a serious question + qualified my statement using >orwell's quote etc)

Well yep, my comment was a bit uncalled for. But some of your posts
show an unrepentant troll attitude which I thought you had forgone
forever - trolls are not objective and while you had a sense of
objectivity soon after Chris told us he was gone (but nevertheless
came back) it seems it didn't take long for it to go again.
There's only three, possibly four, here in this old group. Let's keep
it from extinction, I'm happy to play the game, the question is:
Are you, punk?
Are ya?
