Personally I think labelling someone a troll at this early stage could be seen as exactly the sort of defensive action that an 'old guard' network might take, thus providing evidence for his case. Its just too easy to dismiss people as trolls, what about the actual issues?
I have some trouble with the whole definition of a troll. Nobody has ever declared what debates are allowed here or not. I am naturally incined to want to talk about difficult issues, precisely because they are not often talked about. I wish to treat the newcomer who has produced no video with exactly the same standards as Id apply to a long-term member. I wish all humans (myself included) were better at handling criticism.
