You've made a prediction, how will you know whether it is accurate or not? I can already tell you that I'm not trolling. You updating your prediction of the whole discussion based on a few posts, is inaccurate, because there's something called humor. If you have a discussion and overall exchange many posts and being called an evangelist, cult, sincere but confused, it becomes hilarious. So I might incorporate that humor into some posts. But generalizing all posts on a topic by a few, is to me, hilarious. I hope you see the problem in generalization of a collective by small sets of data compared to the majority.
I'm quite aware there's no operational distinction between delusion and trolling, but thanks for confirming.
edit: really, I get it. The difference between trolling and sincere attention-seeking for a crackpot theory is one of motivation rather than action. I updated based on some self-awareness in some of your comments, and shouldn't have because those comments could as easily have come from a semi-amused crackpot just as easily as an above-average troll.
