Except that the term "troll" has nothing to do with the mythical monster. It references the style of fishing where you toss the baited hook in, then troll around, trying to get the fish to bite.
See, a troll on the web is someone who purposefully tosses inflammatory statements in, hoping to rile up people enough to "bite"...so the troll can them verbally abuse them.
You, my friend, do not do this. You are not a troll.
Well...now you are, since you decided to compare yourself to Socrates, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Freud, Copernicus, Martin Luther AND Jesus. THAT is trolling.
