   I beg to differ.  Yes, they were attacking other members of the group...   
   but they were doing so because the other members were the ones who had   
   driven everyone else out of the group.  As Will Donkey has infamously   
   said, "There's no one else here, Chuck.  I've driven them all away."   
   (paraphrased from memory)   
      
   PJR was trolling the trolls.  This is something that have always done as   
   well.  Unfortunately, I was unwittingly working for the trolls by   
   trolling PJR.

   There is a difference between arbitrarily labeling a statement and   
   correctly identifying and classifying one.  I suggest that you learn the   
   difference.

   If you claim that I belong to some make-believe "Team" that you've   
   dreamed up, I shall continue to deny it.  Why can't you accept the fact   
   that numerous individuals have come to dislike you for numerous (and   
   often different) reasons?
