Was the fact that you responded on your own profile and not mine intentional or just a mistake? Not actually trying to insinuate anything. Just curious.

Everyone I know. I can know people outside of the PC community, because this isn't the only place I go to. My brothers, friends, colleagues, and everyone I have run into except for you thinks trolling is as I described.

So, in other words, no one online? Because
I have friends outside of PC on various online communities as well, and they all took trolling to mean exactly what I said it meant.

If you were to read up on the history of trolling, you'd find that it originally was not a negative term.
|
But the way you used it was in a negative sense, meaning this all is rather moot except to state a given. You were accusing me of trying to incite you, when actually, I never was. In the thread, I was questioning what you were saying (
not making it personal because just because I'm having a debate with you doesn't mean I'm calling you an idiot), and over here, I'm telling you I'm not exactly happy.

You from the very start made it into an argument. It didn't merit an argument.

Everything online is open for discussion, question, or debate. It's a freedom of speech.

You suggested I said you were stalking me. I never said that. I haven't accused you of anything but trolling, while you've called me a liar and put words in my mouth. Hypocritical, much?
|
Uh, actually, you did when you said this:
I can only assume you're trolling and simply looking for something to argue over.
Which, considering it was an addition to a paragraph about how I'm clearly picking on you specifically, says to me that you were saying I was following you around and looking for something to argue with you over.

Your list is not relevant.

It is because I was trying to understand the process of the argument by summarizing our posts thus far. It also is because I was clearly not understanding something you were saying, so I was showing you exactly how I perceived the conversation so you can see where the communication breakdown actually occurred.

Anyone that feels the need to put so much effort into their argument, to go out and find sources and definitions, is clearly overreacting. You're working of flawed logic.
|
Or, alternatively, I'm working with logic as it's defined by establishing an intelligent conversation and backing my points up with fact so there's no further argument unless the opponent actually presents contradictory evidence. In other words, it's how I'm backing up
my opinions. If anyone's overreacting, it's you by accusing me of doing something I'm not actually doing.
Actually, nowhere did you specifically apologize for anything. You simply said you didn't want to continue the discussion anymore. And then you followed up by accusing me of all kinds of things, which then insulted me and brought on all of this.
