Respectfully, I do not see how this falls under trolling. Trolling would assume that the poster is disingenuous. But nothing that I have seen suggests that he was. And I do not think that moderators should make such calls. You may feel that something is “nonsense” but that does not mean you should exercise what little power you have to silence people, unless they clearly violate commonly agreed upon rules. Anyway, I don’t have a horse in this race, only reason I’m speaking up is because I see more and more forums that could host lively debate turn into circlejerks.
Rule 6, trolling. We don’t need that kind of grief.
Same as if someone rolled in saying Ukraine wasn’t a country and belonged to Russia. Just absolute nonsense.

It wasn’t a single comment, it was multiple on the same line.
