I agree with what Cronox wrote a few posts up. He does a good job of explaining the difference between trolling and flaming.
Now the responses that he wrote to Patrick? THAT is trolling.
Well, in this case I assume he was trolling all the other twitter readers and journalists who reacted up on it rather than the person the suicide suggestion was pointed towards.
You see people writing mean things to this guy and go in, write something so over the top that it's pretty much absurd (suicide suggestions), and then be amused over the people who actually thought you were serious then become offended or outraged and/or write articles about it. That still is trolling.
It would have become flaming had he actually been emotionally invested in what he said.
