re: #104 calochortus

So, why do people feel obligated to respond to trolls? I’d think just ignoring them would be the obvious choice. Or are we that bored?

I don’t feel obligated. I feel that, like Simplicus, they can serve a useful rhetorocial purpose, by defining why things aren’t done another way. Like by letting people just be assholes.
