"Trolling" is thrown around way too much on this list and on
Wikipedia.  Do you really think that ArmedBlowfish does not mean
his/her comments in good faith and is only saying these things to
cause an argument?  Because that's what trolling is.  It's not simply
saying argumentative things; it's doing so deliberately to cause an
argument for your own amusement.

I may disagree with AB's input and even find it rather less than
helpful, but I don't think it's being said in bad faith.
