Maybe. But remember, despite the prescriptive linguists out there: a) "troll" is not an insult and b) it can be accidental.
All 3 of Russ' "people with grants", Barry's "rent seeking", and Pieter's "publishing profits are bad for science" responses are a trawler's delight! Rather than talk about the Strawman fallacy and it's variations, we're talking ... [sigh] again ... about capitalism and money.
Call it naivete if you want. But it was a very effective troll.
