I think you may be misunderstanding the meaning of "troll," and I'm not sure whether or not it's intentional.

Trolls generally have no interest in being a part of a community, they mostly just want to rile said community up for their own amusement. Also, deliberately annoying people is not the same thing as anti-establishmentarianism, just as not annoying people isn't the same thing as conformity.

I don't know you, I don't know what you've done that seems to have gotten everyone so bothered. With Kingeichols I could see the source of all the ire pretty easily, though I don't know anymore if his behaviour was intentional, like I initially thought.

If you'd be willing to take some advice, if you genuinely want people to leave you alone about being a troll, I wouldn't post multiple threads defending yourself or arguing about the designation. It tends to annoy people, which in turn tends to harden the sentiment against you. By all means, state your case and defend yourself, but you really should only need to do so once, if at all.
