    I have a strange fear of being engaged by trolls. The thought alone is exhausting. I may or may not take the bait but the possibility of wasting my time on a useless argument means I’m hesitant to post. Not sure if anyone else has felt like this.

      I violently disagree with your whole worldview and wish to engage you in rigorous debate over a topic neither of us has any ability to actually change in real life.

      Here is the rebuttal and deconstruction of everything that you believe:

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin elit diam, cursus quis nibh sed, iaculis laoreet dolor. Nulla justo leo, feugiat et venenatis a, gravida ac leo. Etiam et erat vitae urna interdum varius laoreet ut sapien. Donec rutrum lobortis tellus, tempor accumsan ipsum facilisis non. Pellentesque vitae venenatis arcu, in viverra lacus. Donec eu pellentesque nunc, quis faucibus neque. Nam nec ex dignissim, convallis libero vitae, iaculis velit. Aenean id ornare neque. Mauris neque eros, congue nec porta nec, scelerisque fermentum diam. Praesent nec tortor non metus vulputate accumsan.

      Pellentesque placerat luctus ligula eu aliquam. Donec auctor pretium ex, sit amet consectetur lectus placerat in. Mauris vel enim neque. Proin vulputate sed quam nec imperdiet. Nulla cursus libero quis elit volutpat, quis sagittis mauris consequat. Pellentesque ornare suscipit ligula, nec consectetur eros porttitor sed. Suspendisse quis convallis turpis. Proin faucibus scelerisque lacinia. Nam ornare lorem a suscipit pulvinar. Donec vulputate justo lorem, sed lobortis lorem dictum eu. Sed non maximus neque. Vivamus fringilla eleifend lectus, et faucibus felis dictum vitae. Donec at ex scelerisque, facilisis purus eget, sagittis ex. In est arcu, tristique quis suscipit a, tincidunt non risus. Cras rhoncus posuere tempus.

      Fusce eget ligula eget nulla rhoncus aliquam. Fusce diam elit, auctor a turpis id, ullamcorper accumsan risus. Aliquam sed enim nisi. Nulla dictum congue eros, ac blandit risus vehicula quis. Maecenas laoreet, est et aliquam elementum, nibh erat elementum ipsum, at rutrum enim dui at velit. Sed ut sem quis erat condimentum aliquet nec ac quam. Quisque consequat volutpat odio a venenatis. Proin mollis leo non leo maximus, nec mattis quam lacinia.

      In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Aliquam erat volutpat. Donec ut ipsum quis lectus laoreet pharetra ut a tortor. Ut nec lacus et est tincidunt lobortis vel et augue. Donec tincidunt ex non felis dapibus elementum. Sed eget eros id est pellentesque auctor vitae quis ante. Curabitur pellentesque tellus et risus hendrerit, eu porttitor dui lobortis. Cras auctor luctus blandit.

      Cras fringilla nec sem ac feugiat. Vivamus venenatis orci non erat condimentum blandit. Suspendisse lorem erat, rhoncus ut purus eu, elementum tincidunt nunc. Vivamus lacinia dignissim dolor, egestas finibus sapien placerat eget. Aliquam nec diam eu erat finibus malesuada eu sed felis. Maecenas id ultricies lorem. Suspendisse neque mi, sollicitudin et nisi faucibus, mollis faucibus ipsum. Quisque aliquet fringilla mauris. Nam rutrum ut magna id vulputate. Quisque nec pharetra orci. Vestibulum semper ac velit ut viverra. Praesent tortor neque, feugiat sit amet tincidunt nec, mollis id eros. Nam sed ultricies dolor

    Spend 10 minutes articulating exactly how you conceptualize/feel about something.

    “Yeah. That’s about right, but nobody including myself really cares…”

    Close tab.

    Also, realizing that I actually don’t really have any idea what I’m talking about…

    Mostly it’s like I keep editing and editing to get the right tone for a somewhat offensive style joke so I don’t have too many people not understanding it’s a joke before I think “fuck it, this is too much work for a stupid joke.”

    Or that I don’t actually have anything to contribute and that my opinion has already been stated so I won’t be adding anything original to the conversation.

    I also do this with emails at work all the time. I write a long detailed explanation of why something or someone is incorrect, then I realize clicking send will just cause me more hassle and I’m just working to get paid. It’s not really gonna make my job any harder if they continue to be wrong, so it’ll just sit there in drafts.

    I get so caught up in making sure my meaning can’t possibly be misinterpreted that I get lost on my way to the point. I guess I don’t want to be a cherry-picked example of somebody being stupid on the Internet.

      Write something with specificity to avoid attacks on a general statement and nobody reads it because it’s TL;DR.

      Write something general and brief and you get attacked for lack of specificity with people naming exceptions.

      Can’t fucking win.
