I don't see where calling Hugh a troll helps anything.  He
programs in Forth.  One aspect of being a troll is not having
any justification for posting to a newsgroup.  Hugh is clearly
attacking the c.l.f. newsgroup clique.  As you should be well
aware, he views the Forth "authorities" as an impediment to Forth
progress.  None of the Forth "authorities" have accepted his
programs for novices or his language extensions, e.g., closures
and his allocation method.  How much rejection can one take
before they begin fight back or simply go away?
