You’d be paranoid too if every single person you ever met wanted to punch you in the nose.

We’re not _arguing_ with you. We’re _abusing_ you. We already know that arguing with you is an utterly pointless exercise. It’s like showing a dog a card trick, all you do is baffle it and rile it up. We’re not rebutting or debating anything. Not because we _can’t_, but because everyone else already _gets it_ and it’s just much, _much_ easier to call you stupid.

Now take your lol’s, shove 'em up your cock, and fuck off.

It wasn’t a rebuttal, it was a statement of fact. The one person who posts in your favor of you’ve decided is actually secretly attacking you.

Sure, because in Doperland, any time someone says “I guess X is the case but who knows,” it really means “I have decided X is the case.”

It’s factual that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The fact that literally all the evidence is against you is the first clue.

Given that in response to abuse, abuse generally is returned, isn’t it most people’s last refuge?

Not bad, not bad. You _did_ understand it when it was spelled out for you a couple of times. We didn’t even have to t-y-p-e. i-t. s-l-o-w-l-y. Congrats!

Perhaps. It does sound like the start of a good rationalization for hurling insults when you don’t have a legitimate response on the merits.

Thank you, and I concede that I am outmatched when it comes to hurling insults.

And wonder whether you received the insults in the 5th grade because you were an asshole or if the insults made you a asshole.

Chicken-or-egg-style dilemma.

Actually I was a third party to most of the insults I heard in elementary school. But the main reason I heard those insults were because the insulters themselves were assholes.
