T,

but the point is that he does it
because he believes in his position, not because he's trying
to be a troll and merely stir up argument.


You know, that's exactly the point I don't buy. This "flaw" in his
discussion style has been pointed out to him so often and so explicitly
that the only reason for him to keep it up is purpose. And that makes
him a troll.
