    If I don't know who the STABs are then how will I not respond?

    If I ping you then I obviously know they're STABs.

    If I'm sarcastic it's because I'm trying to have fun doing a tedious chore.

    If I ping but don't PM you it's because I'm half-lazy.

      Excellent post.

      Yet there are a lot of natural idiots on SaidIt that need correcting too. They've been around since long before you or I came here, and their idiocy needs refuting here and there so that casual observers don't think it's idiots all the way down.

      "Don't feed the trolls" is a good motto, but "don't berate the users" is also a good maxim.
