As to the quote, you've either misread, or are actually amusingly trolling yourself ;) Given that the whole sentence that the quote comes from actually explains how to detect non-trolls: "And none of these is the troll, or perhaps some are of a mixed type; for there is no art in what they do." and as a follow-up, close to the end the essay says: "And since the one [a troll] who does this on every occasion must act with knowledge, and on the basis of practice and care, he has a kind of art" With that out of the way, the gist of your comment is totally very interesting and thought provoking, thanks! edit: or did I just perfectly fall for the troll here? :) still not really sure...
