Back in the "good ole days" of the Internet, there used to be a couple of chumps who hung out on the political alt.* heirarchy newsgroups. These guys must have been either college professors with very little to do, or handicapped guys who never left their respective computers.
Some of us on the groups often wondered if they were bots because they would manage to posts hundreds of replies every day. They never posted their own stuff, just replies to the posts of others.
They would repeat themselves constantly, adding all caps or asterisks to emphasize their points as if doing either would make them more believable or truthful.
They would berate their opponents, constantly change the subject, inject deliberate contradictions and/or deliberately obfuscate the original point of the argument - Anything to keep it going not for the sake of the argument, but for the sake of themselves.
You are either one of them, or one of their offspring - In either case, arguing with you is a worthless exercise in futility from which I shall now withdraw.
