Well, i have just discovered an inconsistancy :)

We agree that one should avoid attributing motive to the actions of
others.  The reason why i accused you of trolling was because you have
done just made such an attribution.  Accusing someone of intentionally
decieving others (for fun or profit), is attributing nefarious motive.
 I don't think you have the right to make that claim, and thus you are
simply trolling.
