...what? Pretty sure I am just making basic points and it is you acting like a know-it-all asshole.

Dude, I am winding down my workday and just not looking to do anything else but skim these blogs until I clock out. Cute though, asserting I am a troll because... why again? Seems like I make pretty simple arguments and don’t shy from discussion. Oh well, it probably is easier to just call someone a troll than to…
