re: #229 klys and whatnot

There are, I think, three four types of people who post to discussion threads.

People who want actual discussion and are willing to learn and interact respectfully.

People who want to cow everyone with their brilliance and receive acknowledgment of how awesome they are by converting everyone to their side of the ‘argument’.

Trolls.

People who post cat pictures.

(I probably mix 1 and 4, personally.)

I’m a 1 verging on 2 when faced with mind-numbing stupidity. That is, I’ll interact respectfully till I reach a certain point, but it’s different for different opponents.

I do, however, understand that ‘You’re stupid’ is not a cogent argument, even if it’s true.
