throwaway actually had a valid informative point, followed by some sarcasm. the troll is the person you replied to, and you yourself. you should not flag, downvote, and shadow* people to make yourself feel more in control of your life.

your moderation practices are what has been detrimental to this site more than any trolls or spam. you have turned this site into a subreddit, just with an interface written in 1991.

Please don't violate what the site is for. It's for people wanting actual quality information, not for you as a mod to feel satisfied. You are literally removing things people have wanted to see. A quality discussion does not mean "super nice and agrees with my childlike style of humor." It means more pertinent information. You seem to define pertinent information as "troll" while not noticing the actual trolls. Here is a guideline: you need to be replaced.
