But people like you describe as "troll-wrestling" replying to, or participating in threads started by, Judith/me/etc, in any way, shape or form. And that's complete bollocks: it wouldn't be troll-wrestling even if we were trolls, which we're not.

Just because you're so deeply intolerant of anyone with a differing opinion that you refuse to participate in threads started by them (even if the thread's about an interesting news story), it doesn't mean that everyone has to be the same, nor does it mean that you have a right to call them silly names like "troll-wrestler" for doing so.

Pathetic, as usual.
