[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7646879, member: 6966824"] I've not heard that term, but I just looked it up, and I'm definitely not trolling anyone. If I'm understanding the concept correctly (via Wikipedia), the last thing I want is to provoke an angry response from anyone, and I'm not disguising anything as an attempt to learn and communicate; I really just want to communicate. I'm persisting because I'm irritated that you want to say that my argument is "dazzling but unpersuasive" without actually providing a critique of it. All you have to say is that you don't care about the reasoning and that you're going to continue holding your gut opinion regardless. Which is fine; it's just a game we're talking about, after all, and it's not like anyone is going to get hurt over it. But what's the point of engaging in a discussion thread about solving problems if you're just going to stick to your opinion and not engage with other people's reasoning? [/QUOTE]
