Oh my God, Cicero, you have my point completely backwards...

Yes, you have every right to say what you said about the Chinese vans. I'm glad you said it. It was a relevant and interesting post, and not trolling. Just like the teacher was not trolling. He was speaking with extreme sarcasm to make a point, just like you were. I don't hold any resentment for either your post or the teacher's, they were both completely fine in my opinion.

The only thing I was ever saying was that this comment

was inappropriate because the teacher was not trolling. He was being sarcastic. Of course you "disagree" with his comments, because so does he. I wasn't holding any resentment or throwing anything in your face, I was just using a random post to show that sarcasm is not trolling. You are not a troll (and neither was the teacher,) that is the whole point.
