   You mean the way you did when you posted all of this (everything   
   included to show Arlen-the-narcissists "focus" on the technical):   
      
      
   Hi Carlos,   
      
   This is just going to you on the Android newsgroup because you authored   
   the troll thread on teh Android newsgroup amplifying Alan Baker's own   
   trolls.   
      
   You call me a troll for writing all these PSAs and Tutorials, and I   
   agree I do invest a lot of energy into developing them into bona-fide   
   value. Yet... you don't call Alan Baker a troll. You actually agree with   
   Alan Baker every time he says I'm a troll.   
      
   Why? Why don't you apply the same rules to Alan Baker that you apply to me?   
      
   Why is it that my PSAs and Tutorials you consider trolls, but the   
   garbage that Alan Baker spews, to you, is perfectly reasonable Usenet   
   chatter?   
      
   For example, notice in this thread how Alan Baker is desperate to change   
   the goalposts (which are clearly stated in the SUBJECT line for God's   
   sake) from solid color to "gradient" and yet, at the same time that Alan   
   Baker tries to change the goal posts, he literally claims I tried to   
   change 'em.   
      
   WTF? Even the original OP, Chris Green, agreed what the goal post always   
   was.   
      
   And now you see Alan Baker desperate to change it again to 'simple',   
   even as the goal post is and was always a solid color (typically black).   
      
   While you'll note I never respond to Alan Baker's trolls, you very often   
   do and in doing so, especially when you agree with Alan Baker when he   
   calls me a troll for wrirting all these PSAs and Tutorials, you AMPLIFY   
   his trolls.   
      
   My question to you, Carlos, since *you* authored that troll thread on me:   
      
   Q: Why do you consider Alan Baker's trolls, NOT trolls?   
   A: ?
