    Maybe, but I don’t mind comments. As long as the responses aren’t too aggressive, I’m fine with it.

    And I don’t mind bad faith, as long as it doesn’t involve violence.

      The comments that are from “low-effort trolls” might be a bit much. I mean, you kind of have to sift through them and say to yourself, “meh, what an idiot, doesn’t even know about the topic at hand to say anything remotely valid.” And that’s the fun part. Trolls, in order to really function at effective troll level, have to engage with the content in some meaningful way, if even superficially, which means they have to understand the subject. They seem to not understand the subject at all, which makes them look glaringly ineffective in their role as trolls. I mean, I might call them “lame attempt at trying to be trolls.” They’re out of their element. And it’s funny. But yeah, they don’t need to be there, either.

      Fair enough. For my own part I prefer a higher signal to noise ratio. People starting from a position of “there’s no way that could possibly work” generally aren’t worth my time.
