You have admitted you are a troll.

The term "admitted" is one _you_ introduced in a pejorative way and one
which I don't subscribe to for reasons I've stated before.

WTF are you on about now? You said you were a troll and that's that.

---
Yes, I said I was a troll, which is way different than an admission.

An admission carries with it guilt, which is what you're trying to heap
on me.

It won't work, because there's nothing about you which carries authority
of any kind.

You're now quibbling about pedantic meanings of words. When I say "you admit to it", I mean you agree that you are that thing.

You were boasting about being a very good troll,
or a better troll than me, or something like that.

---
I said nothing of the sort, as I recall.

What I did say was that I reveled in trolling for minnows pretending to
be sharks, and that's why you're on my hook.

That's near enough.

You have also stated that I am no good at trolling.

---
I said you weren't very good at it, not that you were no good at it.

Stop trying to chat me up. I have enough problems with a homosexual in the survival group.

---
Indeed.

Therefore I am not one, and must be an intelligent adult.

---
Wrong on both counts.

My saying you're not good at trolling doesn't mean you're not a troll,
it just means that you're a troll who's not good at trolling.

Not knowing the difference also means that you're not an intelligent
adult.

A good analogy might be that of a thief who gets caught a lot. He's not
an intelligent adult because he gets caught a lot, but he's still a
thief.

But I'm not a troll at all.

---
Yes, you are.

No. I define a troll as someone who starts arguments for the sake of it, just to wind people up, or to get the most replies to his posts. I just reply to people for conversation, or when I disagree with a point they've made.

"Are you crazy?" yelled the customer, "with your hand on my steak?"
"What" answers the waiter, "You want it to fall on the floor again?"
