Of course you don't see his troll-ish behavior because he has been praising you the whole time.
If you pay attention to the people responding to him you'll understand why other people are calling him a troll. It's way past the point of just having an unpopular opinion.

And calling Sopsych a troll is a simple way of attacking his credibility.

He didn't say we should be trained like animals but he goes on to confirm later after Neo said that , that yes we basically should.

Finally, you said something I agree with.

Yeah, I've been discouraged from reporting all together. I used to get made fun of by the mods for reporting but I think it was spam at the time. There were complaints about reports filling up something on their end idk what the reasoning is but after I heard that. I stopped reporting.
