Troll, a definition of,

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] The noun troll may refer to the provocative message itself
So why don't you put your money where your mouth is and show us which part of the many criticisms on this thread could be considered as "trolling" iso criticising.

It is as unfounded as the other side who accuse staunch F35 supporters of being kool-aid drinkers.
kool-aid drinker;
"Drinking the Kool-Aid" refers to the 1978 Jonestown Massacre; the phrase suggests that one has mindlessly adopted the dogma of a group or leader without fully understanding the ramifications or implications
Besides the very beginning of your link is filled with a good dose of , probably unintended, irony.

Yes, and if my grandmother had wheels ,she would be a bike.

Most people critical of the F35 are not against the new weapon per se, they only have severe reservations about how things turn out and what philosophies are used to come to an acceptable new fighter for the next couple of decades.
By any stretch of the imagination this thing still is a fiasco, both technological and financial and there is no clear sign, for now, that it will change anytime soon.
