Damn....as usual, very well put.
I would add , that posting a reply to what seems an obviously antagonistic comment, should be used to quell the anger rather than flame it(thus the term). I have often had an lol moment....Yes I really laugh out loud....when someone trolls, or flamebaits a topic. Simply because it shows laughable ignorance, and why would I wish to become involved in such a thing.
We can all be above such things, if we try. Why not try your hand at diplomacy, and develop a new skill instead?
It is better to remain silent, and be considered a fool.
Than to open your mouth, and remove all doubt.
