>> if you're gonna call him a troll just cuz he's a bit arrogant, you might as well eliminate half of slashdots post population as trolls.
He isn't deemed a troll by arrogance alone, it's the combination of arrogance and blindness/ignorance.
Perhaps many Slashdot readers/posters are arrogant-- but only the trolls believe their opinion/desire trumps evidence, accuracy and logic.
An analogy:
Being arrogant is like a wearing sunglasses;
Only a "troll" puts them on and then claims that it's dark on a sunny day.
"A wrong answer is worse than no answer."
