- krapp 12y agoI don't think that's true. Or if it is, it places no value at all on dissent itself - anyone you disagree with on the internet would be a 'troll'.
- cheald 12y agoMany people on the internet immediately minimize any argument they don't agree with as "trolling". It's easier to just call the other person a malintentioned degenerate than to actually address the points they raise.
