When you post with the conviction that you'll get predictable responses and no real discussion, you self-fulfill that prophecy. You help. Your one-liners may not injure my mouse wheel, but brevity/laziness create something different from host-at-his-worst that is
just as useless to real discussion.
Maybe it's not quite trolling, but in light of your comments in this thread, I think it reeks of a "can't beat 'em, join 'em halfheartedly" mentality. And that's assuming that 'they' are really as closed to discussion as you say.

Do you consider post #24 to be on-topic? I mostly don't agree with otto's critique, but what I see is host providing one great anecdotal example for otto's argument
in this very thread.
