Note that 'trolling' is not a term defined in the charter, and, in the meaning apparently used by Marco, does not seem to violate the charter.

In this particular thread the only thing Henk could be accused of is "off-topic posting" per (1), as he posts about a general programming issue rather than a something specific for Chess programming. This in itself doesn't seem very harmful, however, and as long as such topics would not start to dominate this forum section, I don't think that would annoy many readers. Many other respected forum members do this occasionally too.
It is true that Henk often posts remarks or claims that seem intentionally designed to be just on the wrong side of being correct in a sort of not-too-bright way, which beg to be withspoken. This could be considered trolling, but in an innocent way, as it does not invite personal attacks. This often provides a good handle for me to make a point however. The simplicio-academician dialogue is a time-tested style of teaching, and if Henk wants to take the role of simplico, that is fine with me.
I can add that many of Henk's post seem to be intended as jokes, and that Henk has a very special brand of humor, and often seems very bored. Those with no sense for humor at all stand the risk to be highly annoyed by such posts.
