Was that the royal "we"?   ;-) 

In any case, you have yet another definition wrong.

Internet Troll

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts rude or
offensive messages on the Internet, such as on online discussion
forums, to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants. "Troll"
can also mean the message itself or be a verb meaning to post such
messages. "Trolling" is also commonly used to describe the activity.

Seems to me that your "open-equals-free" off topic posts come a lot
closer to fitting that definition. When I started, my point was about
the importance of RDI to an "IDE choice" [part of the threads title]
before the "open-equals-free" TROLLS started.

Hopefully we can try to stay a little closer to the threads topic???
