As I said, you are a troll.

That is an idiotic thing to say. A "troll" is someone who
posts outrageous statements in order to generate outraged
responses. Eric's statements are *responses* to stupid
outrageous posts like yours. Responding to people like you
is called "feeding a troll" rather than being a troll.
It's just as bad, in its own way, but it is a distinct vice.
