” Wait, wait...I’m not following this. “
I’ll tell the WORLD you aren’t following this.
” You ban her, for, I guess, being a troll who adds nothing to the conversation.”
One is banned for being a troll. A LIAR. A disinformation/disruptor. One is NOT banned for failing to contribute to a conversation
” But then, immediately afterwards, you respond to her.”
So what? There are always a few people who post to someone who has been zotted. Check other zots out for proof.
“Afterwards. So that she can’t respond to you.”
This poster just repeated the same lies relentlessly. You want to argue with a liar? Have at it! The rest of us were sick of it.
Actually, that is why someone is banned. A troll by definition contributes nothing. A disruptor stirs the pot just to watch the arguments. And, of course, there are the zealots or paid For the record, I don't agree with the argument, but it's reasonable and could be responded to by an intelligent person.
In addition, the specific post responded to was not a lie.
Look, if you want to justify it to yourself, fine. Ban whomever you want and cackle about it later. Charles Johnson and David Frum do it all the time.
For me, I never feel like I have to get the AH HA! at the end of every argument. If I win, I know it. But it's just one of hundreds of threads on a little message board. It doesn't change anything.
But to respond afterwards? Pretty low to me.
