Agreed. Perhaps he's just following in the family tradition; his Dad (Alan) trolls in The Times, ooh, at least once a week, but everyone goes "Oh, it's only Alan Coren, he must be trolling. Ho ho ho!" - and he's also a team captain on Call My Bluff, which is as close to a parlour game based on trolling as we'll ever get, what with 2/3 of the participants trolling at any one time. I suspect I have slightly gone off on one there.
The real lack of quality in the troll is demonstrated by the fact that people with a BMI of 16 (quite different from a BMI of 36) would still be surcharged at 4% rather than 6%, which is not all that different absolutely. (Sure, 6% is 1.5 times 4%, so considerably different geometrically, but it's only 2% more.)
