Feeding the Trolls?

With so many threads here being started or hijacked by Trolls I've often wondered why so many others persist in feeding the troll/ Why do you feed a Troll?

Do AX cranks take an ISO axle or a short JIS?

I think that there are probably two major reasons.

(1) a deluded attempt to change the Troll's opinion or way of
thinking, or

(2) a method of demonstrating the author's brilliant thinking in his
rebuttal to the Troll's assertion.

Classic taper section. DuraAce AX was if I recall the first
quality crank with a short symmetric spindle, 107mm.

I never really liked the DuraAce AX, although I think of that crank every time I see one of these: http://lancasteronline.com/features/...456c9bfe8.html

I spent years looking for a Dura Ace AX equipped bike or a Dura Ace AX groupset and got one no too long ago. I then had a a frame builder modify a Columbus SL frameset to take the Dira Ace AX groupset that I'd bought used. I really like the looks and function of it. If the AX spider and crank arm flowed together as they often do on more modern stuff that Dura Ace AX stuff would still look quite modern especially the draillers without the external cable housing that so many deraillers still need.

Ouch. Yep, looks like DumboDrive to me too.

Technically, you could probably fabricate an AX style wire
route guide for a modern changer and it would shift better
(less casing loss). Practically, modern gear casing is
pretty good so the game may well not be worth the candle.

In some cases, the responses are not intended for the trolls reading, so
much as for others. We've seen that fake news gets readily accepted by
many people. If unchallenged, its acceptance would be even higher.

Admittedly, some of our trolls are so off the wall (not to mention foul
and abusive) that few would believe them, so response really isn't
necessary.

Sometimes the trolls are entertaining... Not usually, but once in a while.

Mainly I stay because there's no moderation.
It's much preferable to the opposite--either done poorly, or even well.
