Wikipedia says " In the context of the Internet, a troll is a person who
posts inflammatory messages intended to cause a disruption in discourse."

Since the discourse was already chiefly concerned with flaming me, I fail to
see how I might have "disrupted" it.

I said it was *pretty* stupid, as an explanation of why I might not have
taken it as serious until then.

Because this thread didn't start with a link to the MAME forum, it linked to
the article on my website. There's no obvious way to get to the former from
the latter, so it's entirely likely that someone who found the article from
this thread wouldn't have a fucking clue who "Dave Headwound" was, whereas
they WOULD know who Stuart Campbell was.

Life is grand. I live in a beautiful country that doesn't have a moron for a
President, I have six days a week off, the weather's gorgeous at the moment
for going driving with girls in my open-top sports car, I own 35,000
videogames, my website gets 140,000 hits a month and whenever I get annoyed
about something, the internet is full of cretins I can safely let off steam
at without dirtying my own forum. (While still having enlightening and civil
conversations with anyone who isn't a total dickhead.)

There, we're BOTH having a super time. Ain't that sweet?
