They are certainly presenting an alternative view that goes against the EDF orthodoxy and people do get wound up when they encounter disagreement. Again that does not mean they are a troll, their views could be sincerely held and they are exercising their right to express themselves, not posting just to deliberately needle others. Their views are perhaps naive but there is some truth in their point "This is a very typical sniffy response from this forum- if someone disagrees and goes against the general popular middle class consensus they are labelled a troll" Obviously there are "genuine" trolls but to dismiss anyone who presents a different point of view as a troll is lazy and does not take the discussion further. In my view, cwjlawrence's response was the right one.
