Hi all. Recently I’ve noticed a few individuals who engage with this forum clearly in bad faith. The best way to handle them, is to simply not engage. Ignore them and they leave. Respond, and they get what they wanted (wasting your time). If the person you’re engaging in dialogue with is acting in bad faith, there is nothing gained by continuing the comment thread for dozens of replies.

That's the thing, though. Trolls, specifically, are worthless. No one is changing anyone's mind, one way or the other. Everyone knows the troll is retarded, no one is taking the "argument" seriously. Giving an in depth argument is just a waste of my time. And it's not like I jump right to calling anyone a retard; as I said, it's after they've shown themselves to be utterly pointless to discuss anything with. I've responded to these people plenty, and civilly, before pointing out how utterly braindead they are. That is polite.
But, sure, tell me how I shouldn't be calling retarded trolls on the internet retards.
I love how they even got to you Kienan because I remember you giving me a lecture before LOL. NPCs are real, that's the thing, for me it's always a give and take situation, you're right, don't waste your time with them. It's not a case of "Ohhh be nice to people on the internet they're strangers hurr" NPCs have identifiable patterns and should always be avoided.

The type of people I insult, and the way my insults get to them, is absolutely worth my time and does in fact make me a better person.
If someone is a monster and escapes punishment due to the wretched degeneration of society, punishing them by inducing a crisis is a virtuous thing to do between sets.
