I hope so. If you do, you have my sincere apologies for my brashness. I've found, while distasteful, the fastest way to out a possible "polite" troll is to call them one. It also seems to bring folks who are on the fence between trollish skepticism and genuine curious doubt back into the light for long enough to have a few minutes of meaningful discussion.

Not that you are any one of those in particular. I can't really know. It is just the best catch-all response I'm aware of, thus far.
