Yes, there are those who over react. And no, I didn't killfile you!

I didn't even see that first response of his, only your troll. And
yes, it was a troll.

No, that is not right. Where I live, our neighbors blow up on our city
buses and shoot at us during our holiday celebrations. How do we
respond? We give them food, fuel, and work. Of course, in the
extraordinary event that we do respond violently, the international
community reports only on our response and not on the initial attacks.
Just like I had seen only your post, and not Steve's. Know that that
is likely to happen before you decide to be violent or troll.
