Yes.

I used to think that too, but I now think the validation gained by any polite response outweighs the rebuttal.

…and sometimes we’re far too lenient.

Those are both evidence _for_ trollhood, not against. Especially the latter. Idiots usually argue in their own threads. Trolls avoid responding much.

And _no one_ is idiotic enough to believe tar roofs are responsible for global warming.

Why pick _just_ one:

This is _almost_ comical. If they stuck to the global warming and methhead sister crap, it would be. But the dabbling in racism makes it completely unfunny.

What is a troll though? If I’m just trying to get feedback and information, how can that be a bad thing?

Introspection is key in order to maintain unbinding glee,  
Conquering the world without people’s captivation, is your only step to avoid other’s bad intentions .  
If you don’t approach life with absolute provocation Life is not worth living–, don’t predicate on winning.

have a poem I wrote a few days ago.

“Meanwhile, Aunt Martha was found outside, laying in a ditch.”

I’m going with @wolfpup 's interpretation: fucking moron. I’m willing to give a little slack however. But only a little. Not necissarily a troll–yet.
