'Trolling' is a posting style.

Your initial post was legitimate. When the first three respondents 
missed the syntax error, ';' instead of ',' within function() calls, I 
reported it. You could have easily verified that this change removed the 
syntax error, thanked me, and moved on.  Most of what you did instead, 
including pretending that there was still a mystery, could be seen as 
trolling.
