What was your first warn/infraction?

When their way of operating depends on subjective rather than quantifiable criteria it becomes a matter of intent, or perceived intent.
Trying to troll is still trolling, just like trying to write a book is still writing.

Yes, but in order for you to know that someone is trying to troll he must act like a troll. To go with your book analogy, if someone attempts to write a book but fails so hard that he ends up making a chair, no one can know he is a bookwriter.

You may believe otherwise but for the purposes of moderation here your opinion on the distinctions of the matter is irrelevant.

I am completely aware of it, which is why I never directed the claim that trolling is misunderstood towards the administration or moderation of the forum - I was answering Will. The fact that you do not care about my opinion does not forbid me from expressing it and discussing it with other southperrians, and if you really don't care you can just ignore any post I make regarding this matter.
