Why is someone considered a troll when they consistently speak their mind? or is he just a really good troll that doesn't really believe half of the things he says and just posts to stir things up?
Meh, don't get hung up on a word. Anyone that bombs a thread off topic is considered a troll. Usually when Bruno tries to stir up shit he has a good reason.
The problem isn't that his heart isn't in the right place it's that he is such a serial poster that even when he's trying to help no one listens. He also has a feeling and starts a research project on someone or some company and instead of gleaning through his research to post only the relevant parts he posts everything as he's researching. There could be a good reason for doing it that way. He may not trust his own eyes and want more people looking at it to help him. I read through his company Dox threads looking for anything he may have missed. Sometimes I find nothing and I tell him he's nuts. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate him doing the research for me. I have used his info to avoid doing business with some companies. In a way, I guess you could say he's saved me some money in the past.
I'd say someone like PG is definitely needed in this community. Loud, in your face, and not afraid to show himself but still remaining relevant to the topic. I will admit when I first started reading through his posts, I thought he was just f***ing with people but if you read the content and try to interpret the point he's trying to make (and it sometimes isn't obvious), he seems to typically bring up good points worth discussing.
He can sometimes get into the TL;DR group, but I don't mind that as much as others seem to.
