C’mon, mfm, NDT’s framing was obvious. The article is generous in treating NDT as merely naive. He’s allowed, as are you or anyone else, to engage in such rhetoric but that doesn’t negate the trolling quality.
It’s not trolling. It’s a joke! If he said, “Christians needs to shove Bible pages up their assholes every Christmas morning because Christmas sucks ass and is a national embarrassment even more shameful than Mel Gibson’s love life,” then that would be trolling. You’ve got low fucking standards for trolls if you think that NDT’s comment was trolling.
