The key difference is that an internet troll operates from the anonymity of the internet. People who act like that in person tend to get their noses bloodied...
i wasn't implying in any way that your posting of the subject was troll like ..

but that Iran seems to be exploiting the same techniques as internet trolls-
hoping to illustrate just how dangerous such practices are when viewed in a larger venue ---never mind forget it...
I wasn't saying that at all. I do agree with you completely.

I was just commenting that because the internet troll does this thing anonymously he can avoid the obvious response. Iran ain't being anonymous and therefore may have to face to the consequences of what they're saying
