So, you're talking about someone who is a mod expressing their opinion that someone is trolling while having a conversation in a private forum? So what? Since they think he's probably trolling you think they should issue an infraction? Really? That's what this is about?
I sometimes wonder what franklin is up to with some of his posting, but I bet if you ask him he's making what he considers a valid point. I don't think he is intentionally trolling they way I understand the term.
Beyond that I have tons of respect for him as a poster and as a person. I think he's one of the most valuable posters on this site.
