Because I wrote two posts ( BMW/Kia and the CLA/A3) with the primary purpose of firing some people up. I wasn't totally serious with those arguments. I don't want to be a troll but I did get a kick out of some FP burners writing super long responses to call me an idiot. I dunno maybe I should stick with posts about wagons and car-buying. Car-porn for your thoughts.

I don't know the answer to your question. I don't think you're a troll. But what one person considers to be a troll is different than what the next person does.

Am I a bad person because I don't like the back end of the 12C? I like everything else. I just don't like view you get when standing right behind it.

You are an amateur.

Those articles were fine. It was pretty obvious that you were making a comment to provoke thought not giving advice.

The Internet is like having a conversation with random people in line at a movie theater. You probably have similar interests since you're seeing the same flick and there's some good folks out there, but they'll still let any idiot in.

Satire is a very high form of humor,

This is true, but I wanted to try it out a few times.

Of course not good journalism (blogging?) should fire people up.

The "FP" is enough said. Last time I looked under the bridge, you were not there.

Some people will go incredibly far to prove points. I have fun doing it sometimes.

Think of it more like you're inspiring enthusiastic conversation...

Tom,
You are intelligent, well spoken, articulate, and write interesting articles about the real car world. Please continue. If I see something that is from you, I will plan on reading it as it will be at worst, enlightening. At best, entertaining as well.
To paraphrase the B52s: Troll if you want to. Troll around the world.
