The OP made a valid and considered argument which I believe is completely wrong. The comment wasn't an obvious troll, it wasn't even borderline. In fact, I think it's rather presumptuous of you to assume the OP was insincere. That's your interpretation; that's you applying your own assumptions upon the mind of another person. If you really cared about the quality of conversation, perhaps you should apply your morally superior tone towards the origin of this so-called flamebait and not one of the multitude of respondents?
