2 fold: they get your dander and adrenaline up, and then you start sniping at people who have done nothing to you.
Get my dander up? How quaint! I get angry at willful ignorance and there is plenty of that around these days. If I snipe at someone you can bet they've said or done something that I disagree with. You may not take it as such, but it isn't you in that conversation, just like nobody else in is this conversation except the two of us, which you will probably describe as me sniping at you.
You will NEVER change their minds and you can’t hurt their feelings.
I never said I could or would be able to do either of those things. I simply refuse to cede the battlefield.
Look, you either fight for your ideals and shoot the other bastard, metaphorically speaking of course, or you turn tail and run.
I choose to shoot the other bastard, metaphorically speaking of course, and make him afraid to show his face again.
You do what you want, just don't climb in my foxhole or I'm gonna snipe you too 'cause you want me to do all the fighting while you cower down and won't shoot back.
Good day, Sir!
“’cause you want me to do all the fighting...”
To what end? What does victory look like to you in a troll war? I’m kinda like Trump in that respect. Endless wars with no outcome. Waste of resources. But, at least no one dies here.
The point is, I don’t want you to do all the fighting. How much fun would it be for them if they just fought with themselves or each other?
I’m not a coward, as you assert (unnecessarily, I might add). I’m just too old to see what good can come from arguing with someone who gets paid to bait you - while we’re eating up everyone else’s time and getting repetitive strain on our index fingers from scrolling.
Let’s take this to private mail, if you want to continue.
Thanks,

Sad that you see Q thread as a “mbattlefield” I believe it to be a source of great information and camaraderie. I hate wasting time going through so many back and forth posts with paid trolls not fit to share space with Freepers.
