<i>Am I trolling? I don't think so...</i><p>In order to avoid being mistaken for trolling in the future, you might consider:<p>+ Cutting down on the curses, particular in titles.<p>+ Avoid personalizing any conflict.  Your favorite sports team or the hated cross-town rival "eats dust", case studies on the other hand calmly discuss math.<p>+ Ratchet the sarcasm down seven notches.  Eight if you're talking to people who know the people you're being sarcastic about.<p>+ Avoid interjections like "(ugh)" unless they are being used in a self-deprecating fashion.<p>Believe it or not, you can take this advice and still sound passionate, intelligent, engaging, and perhaps even hip, if you're into that sort of thing.
