Public notice: I’m now considering this user a probable troll and will act accordingly.
In the future, I may so consider and act, under these sorts of circumstances, without such public notice.
Does any (old-time, trusted) user want to volunteer as the mod who goes back and deletes all the troll comments once a user has been designated a troll?

That seems like something that should be automated. I could give you a script that (for example) goes through a user page and deletes (or rather sends the appropriate button press that would be a delete command when run by a mod) any comment with less than 0 karma. It would make more sense for this to be an implemented feature of the site but “something I could implement in an hour without accessing the source code” seems like a suitable proxy for “is easy to make a feature of the site, one way or another”.
He could have just been talking about trolling in the abstract. And even if not, after reading a bit of his history, his “trolling”, if any, is at most at the level of rhethorical questions. I’m not really a fan of his commenting, but if he’s banned, I’d say “banned for disagreement” will be closer to the mark as a description of what happened than “banned for trolling”, though not the whole story.
You can respond to the argument.(it might even do you good). or you can refuse to consider criticism. It’s your choice. From which I will draw my own conclusions.
You can state that you’ve never trolled in this site (not even “low-level”) and promise to never troll here (not even “low-level”) in the future.
As a sidenote, previously you argued that people who respond to trolls are also to blame. Now you argue that EY would be to blame if he does not respond to a possible troll.
From this discrepancy I just drew my own conclusions.

Thank you! Intentional troll or not, this user’s extremely prolific posting of low-value comments is something I’d rather not see here.

That sounds helpful. Let’s give this a shot. (I’m running updated Chrome on Win7 if that’s relevant.)

...um, Aris, you’re feeding the troll...
