There appears to be an unfortunate coincidence here. I had no idea that you had
answered the Dick Longo post above. You were justified in thinking it legitimate
as it was his first post and I was therefore not commenting on your judgement.
Few people in this forum would want to argue with the idea that Swaminathan
Natarajan is a troll, partly because the man behind the character admitted it at
one point and partly because there is abundant additional evidence. I was merely
making the point that replying to obvious trolls is not helpful to the majority
of members
