    That’s a sealion. Trolls try to get an emotional reaction, whereas sealions try to wear you down and/or waste your time with bad faith arguments.

    Side note: calling out trolls is not the same as “falling for it,” and blunt language over demonstrable bullshit is not incivility.

    Mods who refuse to deal with trolls and threaten commenters who will deal with trolls are creating a community for trolls.

      I think “debates bros” are fine. I find it to be used as a derogatory used against people to ignore their valid points. I personally have a dislike against STEM brains. People who think the sciences and math is the most elite and everything else is inconsequential. This make them think sociology, anthropology, psychology, etc. useless because they are “pseudoscience”. Then they think they can do anything using their logix and reazoning but always end up ignoring important socio and anthropological findings.

    Oh I give them their debate. They will eventually start using ad hominem attacks anyway, despite that being one of their ridiculous arguments (“be polite when I’m being stupid”) since they don’t actually have facts or use logical thinking.

    Anyone else remember “disemvoweling?” I vote for that instead of deleting comments. Let us frolic amidst the shattered ruins of our foes.
