Bubu, your posts across time are like the ones here. Know that the only reason for me to post on this thread is not to offer another way for you to see it.
Why’s that? Because I’ve learned your cup runneth over with Bubu.
You are always right, you never acknowledge that maybe, just maybe there’s another way to see it. So why do I bother to expend time and energy? To help cancel out the misinformation. Note: I could be wrong here. I find it’s better for me to skip your posts or do a quick read.
I did a search of your recent posts. What comes to mind is that at the very least you like argument for argument’s sake, the other extreme is you exhibit troll-like qualities.
Time for me to step out of the thread. But first, based on a quick search of just your recent posts and this thread, and here’s my take on my statement “
you exhibit troll-like qualities”:
(1) Posts inflammatory comments, not to engage in serious conversation, but to "grief" or annoy an online community.
(2) An obvious glee and elated satisfaction is aroused in them when people join the fight and reply to their deliberately disruptive comments.
(3) Copies and pastes large blocks of text to exhaust the readers of a topic thread, thus driving away legitimate posters of sincere comments. These blocks of text are often recycled and appeared on a variety of threads.
(4) Tends to avoid complimenting people who disagree with them, even when those in opposition to the troll make some valid points.
(5) Shuns any conciliatory statements like "You have obviously spent a lot of time studying this subject, and I'm not certain how to reply to your last remark, so let's shake hands, part as friends, and move on."
(6) Never ends a debate with "Thanks for the discussion" or "I'll consider what you say" or any other finalizing remark, because they love arguing and disrupting civilized conversations.
(7) Keeps an argument going a lot longer than a normal person would, to the point where people will start asking a moderator to turn off comments or block the troll. However, sometimes people will do this just because they can't tolerate contrary opinions and are angry at seeing them posted to a thread they enjoyed reading. The mark of a troll is to keep hammering away at a point in an obsessive manner.

Blogocombat means friendly online discussions, as well as heated debates. I use the term "blogocombat" to refer to both. But where the rubber meets the road is when you have to deal with the internet troll.
There are no winners or losers in a civilized discussion. There are just people who express their thoughts and people who learn a bit more about a subject and improve their presentation of ideas by engaging in conversations with worthy opponents.
"Trolling" has nothing to do with sincere expression of contrary opinions or stubborn dedication to an idea. Trolling is all in how the comments are phrased and how the comment poster behaves, especially when confronted.
You know it's an immature attention-getting scheme when they respond quickly to every single comment posted in response to theirs, and their rhetoric tends to escalate in intense hatred, absurd rambling, and malicious provocation.
