This was an interesting zot in that the poster of troll piece actually tried to defend his posting. Usually they just post some piece of garbage and then don’t participate in the discussion at all.
I know there are some cases where a zot occurs in the context of the discussion (such as the famous pissant zot).
But in cases where the zot is earned by the original posting itself, it seems to me that usually the zotee posts his stupid screed and then sits back and says nothing, probably knowing in advance that a zot is on the way.
But this moron seemed to actually think he was contributing something worthwhile, and thus tried to defend it when people pointed out to him how ridiculous it was.
I guess that’s why they’re called morons.
