Fried Fish?

I can't decide whether this is an interesting point of view, or whether Stanley Fish is just playing troll. Based on where he ends up (and who he is), I think the latter, though it's also quite possible that he really thinks he is bringing obvious and learned enlightenment to us all (with Milton! Always with Milton.)

(Thought Experiment: Are there situations where a person could be trolling without the intention of doing so?)

I would think that concern trolls, despite having "troll" in their name, could be considered unintentional trolls. They're often seem quite sincere in their meddlesome desires, but it sure as hell seems like they just do it for the lulz sometimes. If one were to suggest that to them, they would be horrified, but since they're usually just doing it to feel better about themselves, that seems to put them pretty squarely into the troll camp.
