Yeah, except I've never been a troll.

A guy doesn't like dogs: what a troll!

A guy doesn't want to get killed by bears: what a troll!

A guy thinks teachers only work 3/4 of year and 2/3 of a day because he looked at their schedule and that's literally the hours: what a troll!

A guy thinks big weddings are a huge waste of money: what a troll!

Sorry dude, it's dumb to have read anything I've ever written and conclude I'm a troll.

Go to the Banff visitor's facebook page. Every second question is about bears. Congrats you don't care about bears...many do. Bear defense is huge business. Literally everyone who visits Banff and Canmore who plan to do outdoor activities buys or rents bearspray. On the Canmore facebook page, there are multiple posts a week by people looking to sell their bearspray before concluding their vacation.

Bear defense is big business. A bearspray costs, what, $80 or something? For a spray can of pepper water? I have an idea for something that is potentially better and its efficacy isn't fricken wind dependent.

Much easier to criticize than create, though, so go nuts. But it is ridiculous to think an idea for bear defense that's safer for the bear and the human using it is a dumb thing to pursue. Even dumber to think the guy who has been thinking about bears - and how to fend them off - regularly since he was a kid is trolling because he came up with an idea that would be safe and legal to use in national parks.
