Honestly guys.  I keep getting called a troll, so at least I deserve an explanation of what that is :)

A troll is a hairy ape-like man who lives under the bridge and is always trying to stop small children from crossing that bridge.

Now you know what a troll is.

I have been called that too. I usually get called that because I am willing to discuss controversial topics, and go against the grain with my opinions/beliefs. My opinions are considered unpopular by some groups of people and maybe even offensive. Usually when I express my opinions about a matter, they are backed by evidence and may even be the 100% truth. But because people would rather believe whatever it is they want to believe, I end up being called a troll because they don't like me. Basically, a troll is someone who goes around trying to get a reaction out of someone on the internet. It isn't so much that the troll is honest and truthful about what he/she writes on the internet, but the troll's objective is solely to stir people up with what he/she says.

In my case, that is not my goal. I might start topics that stir people up, but that is not my ultimate objective. My objective is to discuss controversial topics because I think they are important, and its a good opportunity for me to write what I truly believe on these matters. I always like comparing my beliefs with what other people say so that I can come that much more closer to the truth. If I think someone's argument is true then there are times where I have to change my own beliefs and side with theirs.

I didn't even know what a troll was until I googled it. But with a name like trickster, you are asking to be classified as a troll before you even type, although I have no idea why you chose your name to be such. Possibly a name change would help you out?
