Good points...I for one like a healthy debate, where tacit assumptions are
challenged, but not personally insulting or "waste-of-bandwith"-type
posting.

To some, someone who shares my way of thinking might be considered a flamer
or troll.

So what would you (meaning anybody here) think when someone takes an
unpopular stance on a point?  Would that mean I'm a troll?
