When you defend yourself from his trolls by pointing out with a wink

Zero is an integer, fuckwit. Zero divided by any IQ number is zero
thus an integer. Get the *** over yourself mister zero-IQ.

Stop insulting Zero. And how could I not be full of myself? Have they
discovered an interesting class of sets that don't contain themselves?
Wow, the possibilities are endless. I mean, I could be full of someone
else. What if they were overweight? I'm not a piano case, you know.
Would I pop?

When you respond to
him in kind, people ask why you're attacking him, but not why he's
attacking you.

Then you're doing a piss-poor job of it, aren't you.

Perhaps, but we works with what we got.

When you excoriate his buggery, people say you're
whining.

So don't bend over and you won't need to whine about the results.

I fail to see how pointing to some of the nutter's shortcomings
constitutes "bending over," but then I fail to understand why people
would vote for a presidential candidate who can't utter a coherent
sentence, so I guess I miss a lot of things.

If you do not respond to his accusations, people believe
them,

How do you know what others believe, aside from the projections
required by your insecurity?

Because of what they say, dude. Not 100%, of course, but were we to
mistrust speech entirely we'd be in a pretty pickle, wouldn't we.

but if you do, they claim that you're falling into his trap.
When he lies, people say he was telling the truth; when you tell the
truth, people accuse you of lying. And always, always, they neglect
the fact that the very act of trolling and flaming is one that is
considered infantile and contemptible by all but the tiny
self-selected group of regressed individuals who have ruined Usenet by
driving most of the normal people away.

Most normal people are boring to begin with but after you peel away
the surface layers you'll find that they're actually quite boring; be
thankful they've been driven off usenet and only the sick remain.

I noticed more years ago than I care to admit to that the socially
aggressive were just about the most boring and bored people on earth.
That's true whether they're the social register snobsters of Fifth
Avenue, or gum-popping cliquesters from PS 98. It's among the misfits,
the mutants, and the rejects that one finds the wit, creativity, and
top-notch hash that make for interesting conversation.
