Not my problem. I don't see theoretical positions lasting in real life, it's all compromise. It's not worth engaging with, it's like feeding the troll. I'm not saying I'm above it, just view it as a waste of time.
I'm with you on not feeding the trolls 100% because they're not really seeking to engage, they're just seeking to enrage. But to say 'When I disagree with a theoretical position I don't engage with it' leads to only two possible conclusions. The first is that you'd rather be wrong than have your viewpoint on any issue challenged. The second is that you're absolutely sure you're completely right about every possible theoretical position, ever. Neither of which is a particularly palatable stance in my view.
