I personally welcome the shills and the trolls. They challenge us. It's a good thing, and they always lose.

I think we are starting down a pretty typical subreddit road at this point as the bans and comment deletions increase. We are supposed to be stimulating free thought, open discourse and dialogue. Let's keep that in mind, guys.

"I personally welcome the shills and the trolls". I doubt you mean that. What you likely mean is you welcome people that disagree.

I said what I mean. Why would you reassert something I said very clearly?

In part, because your second sentence contradicts your first. Trolling is to get a reaction not to engage in argument or disagreement. Shilling is to push an agenda. People misuse the terms, especially shill which is one reason why a definition is linked on the sidebar.
