Anger -
Wisdom for Cooling the Flames
quote [ For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose ]
Here is the essay mentioned in the story.

I am all for reasonable debate. Key word there being reasonable. If someone's opening argument is essentially, "No, you're the fascist, I ain't got time for that shit. Trolling is not reasonable debate.
