Its easier to judge Minstrel's status as troll or anti when you've read his posts for.... a few months/years/some meaningful duration of time.

As JD said in another context, you're in Minstrel's house, and you're telling him how to behave?

Advice; your merit will surface in the long-run if you don't insist that everyone agree with you. Otherwise, you run the risk of alienating a bunch of strangers before they've even had a chance to meet you.
