It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

I'm a bit disappointed, tbh. I was straight up trolling you, thinking you'd explode at me, but you only raged slightly. A low 3/10 for effect. I'll try harder next time.

Did you notice how IamRedBeard failed to respond to a point that i made again and again and again?

I think a trolling was in order, given that he was refusing to debate in good faith

No, I scrolled through because of mod reasons, stumbling upon a troll confession was the only thing that prompted me to post.

"I was merely pretending to be retarded because I thought that was in order"

I think you can do better, not responding might help.

It wasn't a retarded troll. It was reasonably sophisticated and also stayed true to the pyramid of debate, I thought.

Trolling is never encouraged as it is by definition retarded.

That's a false statement. Retardation is a mental deficiency, trolling in its many forms maybe comedy, abuse or just socially inept, but it is not retarded.

Socially inappropriate or foolish.

Offensive Slang

Thats great. I think we've reached a point where whatever wrongs my inoffensive and subtle trolling represents is totally outclassed by your deliberate insults.

call it quits?

It's not my fault that somehow you manage to flip things over to personal attacks on you instead of reading and understanding comments the way they are supposed to: unless you somehow deem yourself to be 'always' trolling I never insulted you. I just spoke truth about the act of trolling being a retarded act by definition and not something to be encouraged:

To post inflammatory or irrelevant material on (an electronic forum) to provoke responses.

Doesn't help the debate, if you want to debate from a different perspective do the old 'To be the devil's advocate' or be ' what if I was such and such' . The mainstream media is already filled with trolls and you're accepted here without having to be one.
