meathead; the definition of “troll”

In this post at Meatbrain’s, he claims Ogre is a ’self admitted troll’.
But when you look at what he’s written and the examples he uses, you can see that it’s Meatbrain who is acting the troll, not Ogre.
Ogre looks for facts and facing reality, saying that he won’t engage in a debate if you call him names. See Ogre’s post on “more comment whining”. Ogre’s posts are filled with reasonable conclusions backed up with fact. Meathead’s posts are filled with ridiculous accusations backed up with hyperbole and lies.
Ogre’s points are reasonable, but it seems to me that Meatbrain’s are not. Meatbrain apparently objects to Ogre laying down his ground rules:
When you start telling me what my thoughts and feelings are, that’s not debate, so I choose not to participate. If you want to talk about reality and facts, I debate. When you just call names and make up crap because you want to, that’s just trolling.
Meatbrain’s post, entitled “Ogre: Self-admitted troll”, illustrates the point that he objects to these requirements.
Wikipedia’s definition of troll:
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response
Since Meathead can’t seem to find a rational thought, ‘trolling’ is what his entire blog is comprised of. His modus operendi is to accuse others of the behavior that HE exhibits.
He is also famous for using the word ‘hypocrite’ frequently, yet his own behavior when compared to his accusations, fits that bill, as well.

The title is even a lie; Ogre isn’t ‘a self-admitted troll’…I’ve never seen him ‘admit’ he was a ‘troll’…
This is what analysts call ‘projection’.
