I don't believe that is a troll in the most common usage of the term
with respect to internet forums. What he does is play devil's advocate,
in that he does not make personal attacks but rather just posts a
contrary opinion in order to stir the pot and more importantly to get
one to at least rethink their rigid positions. Throw in the facts that
on occasion he can also be funny and that he does not seem to take
himself too seriously, something more than a few members might learn
from, and I say that on the whole magiccarpetride is more than welcome
to keep on stirring the pot.
