   Adverse criticism is not "trolling"; not to people with minds.   
   For example, many app updates carry descriptions such as "performance   
   improvements, better game experience and bugs cleared"; and it's not too   
   difficult to read beyond the euphemistic phraseology to the reality.   
   Among educated people that would promote discussion, not a sudden inrush   
   of thought-police yelling "Not here, not here". In a forum where   
   intelligence predominates over crudity, it would be welcomed.
