• Definitely trolling but there's times when it's still worth responding to some of the things trolls say.
    Beneath that veneer of trolling was an air of superiority, priviledge and assumption that their views are the good and right ones. Also an element of fear that things are changing and what they're comfortable with is about to be stripped away unchecked. Or worse than that, that the status quo has already slipped away unnoticed and they're just clinging desperately to a fading shadow. An impassioned defense of vitriol and rhetoric to restore the "proper order of things" and put the upstarts in their place.

  • Well yes but it's also worth observing and understanding that views such as theirs may be quite commomplace, widespread and ingrained and will take reasoned and balanced reponse if progress is to be made, rather than telling them to fuck off which doesn't make anyone look good.
