I made this simple diagram for you all. See if you can spot the difference and decide which is safer :)

Is there a list of trolls anywhere - past and present?

I can think of a few :roll: and we seem to be getting quite a few lately. What's the collective name? An infection of trolls?

Anyway, just lately I've seen some posts from trolls where a member has tried to describe what my picture demonstrates. So I thought if a picture speaks a thousands words...

I don't think it's been done before so perhaps long overdue?

A child of six could understand it so maybe they could ask their children which is safer and get their unbiased opinion.

Accusing people who disagree with you as being trolls is trolling itself, and a subtle but powerful form of ad hominem attack.

Whats more, looks like road you've drawn should be a 20 max, enforced by an average speed camera.

If not requiring a bloke to walk in front of a motor vehicle carrying a red flag :P

I've read and reread this thread and I can't find anywhere where Big Tone accuses anyone of anything, let alone being a troll.

Is this a case of "to thine own self be true?"

I completely agree with this and it's something that's practised regularly on this site. And when you say "in what way am I being a troll", you almost never get a direct answer. Especially if they're only calling you a troll after an argument has already been going on for a while. In other words, when they're losing the argument. "Well, um, what you haven't considered, er.... you're a troll!"
