Please, don’t discuss pronunciation on this board without using IPA.\* \* That stands for “drink a hoppy beer and quit trying to make IPA work.” I don’t care how helpful it is, the masses are never going to learn it. ---

I soooo get that. I’m sure my most tepid support of his rationality will be cooled by something abysmal in the immediate future. > [@Stratocaster](#): > > But a mildly amusing troll is still a troll, and I don’t care if his heart is true and his motives virtuous. He’s still stirring the pot and raising the temperature, and not by the strength of his arguments. And that is a fair an honest evaluation. Our definitions of troll, while not exactly nebulous, have a lot of fudge factor built in. I think, again THINK that the reason motivations come into place in such discussions is that if someone is an argumentative poster that debates fiercely, it tends to slide as it appears to slip under the “making arguments to primarily elicit an emotional response.” So the poster in question doesn’t exactly get a pass (I do feel that far too often they slide past argumentative and straight into full on jerk), they’re riding the fuzzy line hard. But when (as they were called out on in that thread) for sealioning, as well as disregarding good faith efforts to debate, they absolutely earned and got a warning. Do it enough and… fuzzy line isn’t going to save them. See! Talking About Trolls Again. Or, from now on TATA! (wait, did I just troll our anacronym / abbreviation / initialism crowd? OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE, I’VE BECOME WHAT I DETEST!!!) Excuse me, off to find some ashes and sackcloth! ---

Our language-obsessed friend is back at it with a thread on an obscure Irish word. Are people giving them a break on any expectation of non-jerkish interaction on the assumption that they are neuroatypical? ---
