A troll is someone who puts a post out there full of words that make you respond in any of several ways. Their sole purpose is to get a rise out of you, to stir "a tempest in a teapot", so to speak. Here on ballreviews, it only serves to continue a thread with no good purpose in mind.

Inverted,

The problem is that everyone has heard your opinion -- the same opinion -- 62,738 times. The 62,737th time was OK. Now the bread is stale.

You can try to qualify your statements all you want. The problem, when you stick to a topic so staunchly, is that you end up becoming what you say you hate. You're a fanatic for the cause just like anyone else.

The problem is, when you compound that problem by squatting on any ball company's site just so you can get your shots in, you run the risk of driving straight into Tool Land. You're on the highway headed that way right now, and there aren't many more chances to pull a U-turn.

Makes sense and you are right. Over stating your opinion is just as bad as over rating a ball.

On topic question will only be asked and opinions stated when warranted. And, I'll spell check more often

The horse is dead and the stick that beat it is being put away..

peace...
