This was the post in question:

You are right. Looking at his whole posting history, for the most part I don’t see a large history of trolling, but this particular post was poorly constructed at best, and trolling at worst. There’s an ATMB thread on it now. It’s an inflammatory statement thrown out without any supporting evidence.

I’ll retract my “troll” label, for now, pending further evidence.
