Well to be fair you're not entirely blameless. I just read the trivia thread through. Calling someone a "jackass" is flaming too
.
I do feel the responses you've been getting for your posts from some sections of the membership is a bit strong however. I know what the definition of a troll is and you definetly aren't one. If you'd started a thread saying for example "All *blanks* stink and should be killed to purify the white race* then you'd be trolling. Thats the sort of thing trolling is, provcative statements planned to anger other members and start a flame war.
