From Graham
____________________________________________________________________________
I don't know if you'll ever happen to read this (my IP will likely be blocked by the time I finish this and it shows up on the "talk for this ip" page); if so, here's my response:
In this era, rational discourse is dead. As soon as any taboo line is crossed- and such taboo lines include debunking absolutist (in a philosophical not physical sense) thinking- people instantly stick their fingers in their ears and yell "LA LA LA" in order to drown out the discord. (in other words, stating that no "token", including morality, feces, or money has no value than what is placed on them will get you ignored by default). Trolling is effective through disruption- the "normal rules of the game" are tossed out of the window, thus forcing the one being trolled to face the reality outside of the nice cozy "fake-reality" that we create for ourselves. Thus, it actually achieves far more than politely writing an article within normal social bounds.
As for why I don't put my name beside it- two reasons.
1. I'm sure my ISP appreciates me staying anonymous
2. Creating an online persona is counter-productive, in that the "personalities" become more important than the exchange of information.

Cut the nonense. You think you can write a response like that and expect me to take it at all seriously. You obviously suffer from a mental illness like bipolar disorder with mania or psychosis, or your just plain rude. If it's the former, go and see your doctor. If it's the second, well, what can I do? You're wasting your own time and mine and it's up to you to stop.
