This is circular logic. Since no one else yet wrote any of
the above, what you are saying is "you are a troll, because troll
is you". I don't think you know what troll means, so you use it
like an insult ("Boo, you criticized my pet computer language, you
are a troll")

Nevertheless, let's ask the experts. If only 3 (three!) people 
from alt.troll say that writing

<message-id:D5ODMGKEL3JQLZOFIJAGKINUHSIEBVOLPZKLOPNS at ziplip.com>

while believing that Python does something  very nasty, or, say,

<message-id:FTB2H3EKMGCKEAGFMAPUH4MJIBMHGNMOD5CLJSKP at ziplip.com>

(which turned into an interesting discussion, by the way!) makes 
one a troll, then I'll stop :-(

{F-up2 alt.troll only is OK. I never read that newsgroup, but I'll
check the responses (and who they are from, if negative) in a 
few days}
