I really didn’t think this merited a pitting, plus I’m not completely certain if most people would consider [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=414583&page=3) trolling or not. Basically **GomiBoy** refuses to acknowledge my stance on the subject but _insists_ that I believe that Americans are the ‘most racist’ because I used them in a comparison, despite the fact I have repeated my position several times in the thread. I can’t tell if he’s just sidestepping my questions or trying to egg me on. Would you consider this trolling or harmless ‘debate’? ---

It’s certainly not worth your time or attention. Can’t really say though - it’s rather prickish to tell someone else what they think, bit trollish to harp on it. ---

I would consider either keeping this in the original thread, or emailing the proper Moderator. Locking thread.
