Isn't that kind of the point? Someone has a question, they get
labeled a troll, they stop posting because it's not worth the hassle
and find some other way to learn Lisp, or just go on happily
programming in Ruby on Rails or whatever.

Note: I'm not denying that there is A LOT of trolling on c.l.l. I am
claiming that occasionally really questions and comments get caught up
in the troll net.

OK, random hit on searching "not a troll" in c.l.l.

Random third party after poster A labels poster B a troll:

"I disagree very strongly. This person has done nothing but ask
reasonable
questions in a reasonable manner. That is not a troll. It is not his
fault
that he walks a path this group has seen many times before."

Not hard at all to find other examples like this.
