So you start your "rebuttal" with a slight insult, well well, you are right of course, if I do not know something doesn't mean you are a troll (or the person I responded to) but check out his posts and come back and say you see no trolling.
It wasn't an insult at all. Plenty of ways to phrase what I said as an insult, and I used none of them. I was pointing out that: (1) you didn't seem to know what terms meant, and thus (2) were using that as reason to assume the other person is a troll.
I'm not defending the other person either, I just get annoyed when I see people assume everyone is trolling simply because they're offering a contrasting opinion on something. If someone really is trolling, it shouldn't be hard to point to why you think that. You also made up some fantasy in the latter part of your comment, putting words in the commenter's mouth you responded to, which you obviously intended in a snide way by adding the "Looooool":
He did say that the country of China, which is a dictatorship, is in fact a democracy.
You're right, I missed that. I removed that bit from my comment, as I think the rest still holds.
Fair enough, I probably got carried away a bit too, cheers!
