Didn't I make it clear that I didn't think that person was trolling?

Not completely so, but you still trolled them after stating that it was a negative thing to troll.

Am I hypocritical? In what sense?

By trolling after you stated it was improper.

And I'm a moron as well? Let's look at that one more closely:

It seems like an appropriate thing to call you, considering you called said person a moron.

Where did I make that assertion?

By trolling after you stated it was improper.

Two part question.
1. How was I trolling?
2. Again, where did I assert trolling to be improper?

It seems like an appropriate thing to call you, considering you called said person a moron.

So by using a term in the context in which they displayed the properties qualifying the usage of said term, you find it appropriate to use the same term in retaliation without knowledge of its meaning or understanding of the context in which it was used?

Regardless. End of discussion. We are too far off topic. Some are still waiting to respond to the query put forth by this thread, and the rest of us are awaiting the new query which will be brought forth tomorrow. Until then if you wish to argue technicalities and semantics I am more than happy to do so with you in the proper venue. We can find a thread where such conversation is appropriate, or take it to the messages. Up to you.

This is usually true, however sometimes we need a short recess from intellectual endeavors and troll hunting is a praise worthy past time :D

Right there.

Two part question.
1. How was I trolling?
2. Again, where did I assert trolling to be improper?

You called said person a moron, by the way did you notice all my posts dissipated?

And for the second, I will point towards the first quote.

So by using a term in the context in which they displayed the properties qualifying the usage of said term, you find it appropriate to use the same term in retaliation without knowledge of its meaning or understanding of the context in which it was
used?

The word here being a common word, and the meaning already known, it is quite fine. It was posted entirely to insult you for insulting m... the person.

You started it. I was only defending the innocent guy who was just giving constructive criticism.

While you were definitely waaay out of context with your comment, the discussion regarding the troll is not about you, but about 314d1.
