Your points would have been better expressed without the personal attacks on Butterdezillion, who, as many of us have, is not engaging in the "luxury of some of camping out on Internet board seemingly 24/7;"but rather have taken on the watchfulness of engaged citizens as a second job.
Perhaps it is the snarkiness of your tone that sets off the "troll tingle" that we feel when you respond. It is a supercilious tone that seems to drip from the mouths of trolls and liberals at large. As Hook himself would say, "The pulling spawn, how I despise them."
Safe journey on your self-imposed exile.
I made no personal attacks. My comments were directed at her arguments (which I think are Bond-novel-esque in their nonsense) and her refusal to defend her own position. (This, after calling me 'chicken' back in September - which was a personal attack).

There's nothing wrong per se with watchfulness. It's when the watcher simply cannot seem ever to view any event outside the prism of the conspiratorial glasses that I take issue.

Perhaps, but I find it's a 'no win' thing no matter how I play it. If I act like I give such arguments any credibility, I get accused of being insincere. So I call 'em as I see 'em -- hogwash. If that gets interpreted as haughty, so be it. To paraphrase Hook, "Let the mortals envy me."

You get points for being able to quote Hook. :)
Safe journey on your self-imposed exile.
Thank you. The journey back will occur from time to time.
