Nothing you can say matters in the least. Everything you say is based on fallacy. You're completely wrong. You're just flapping your tongue. You aren't proving anything. And he loves it... the redder your face gets, the better. There is no QED - period.
That's what I don't get. I can imagine that making people squirm by showing them to be wrong could be pleasurable, but how can there be pleasure in demonstrating to people that you're a know-nothing? How can even the beer drinker derive satisfaction from proving to people that he is lacking the intelligence to construct a reasonable argument?

A troll loves watching his enemies squirm. I imagine a guy sitting back with a beer in hand saying to himself, 'Ok... how high can I make them jump today!'
Why are you thinking 'acceptable behavior'? What's that got to do with troll behavior? You lack imagination in this area... It's about having fun - nothing more. This is an amusement for him or should I say a bemusement since they are now the same word it seems...
