Invoking the concept of a strawman when someone says you're not paying attention
That's just plain fucking stupid.
- your hurt feelings don’t make much of an argument.
  
  Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit? What would the point of that be? I've seen how you act. You ignore literally everything everyone says and post clippings from a high school textbook you clearly never read and don't understand.
  And what the fuck would I be making an argument about in the first place? You aren't talking about anything. Shame on my comrades for engaging with you for anything other than to bully your ass for being a blight on the conversation other people are having around you.
  
  Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit?
  you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol
  and your childish tantrums and name-calling don’t impress me, nor does your bullying. all it tells me is that you’re so afraid of losing an argument to a stranger on the internet, it drives you into a blind rage.
  that’s how much control you give to strangers because you have no control over yourself.
  
  you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol
  Are you a fucking smurf? Do you have blue fucking skin?
  Do you read the completely different words 'reply' and 'argue' and just hear "smurf smurf smurf!" in your head? You understand different words convey different meanings, right?
  
  Some top-tier redditoring right here.
  Very epic.

  I figured speaking to as if you were a teenager might bear more success in your understanding.
  clearly I aimed to high.

  You weren't talking to me bro, check again
  
  I'm saying you're acting like the worst kind of redditor.
  But you already knew that.
  
  I’m saying you’re acting like a redditor.

  Still +5 upvotes on this six hours later, huh?
  Weird how the only people who find value in your comments only ever show up right when you make them.
  
  says the troll
  you've been at this for over 6 hours....
  it's 3:48a on the east coast. it's more likely those few people went to sleep than your paranoid delusion is true, even after you keep moving the goal posts.
  
  Yeah but I've been taking breaks and not really doing this with anyone else. I just looked at the thread again.
  You're replying to EEEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRRYYYYYOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE
  Why are YOU doing this to YOUR self? It's amazing. It's like you have a supervisor breathing down your neck to keep you posting.
  
  says the troll.
  after six hours of trolling, you’re just getting madder and madder.
  why keep doing this to yourself?
  
  Are you okay? Do you need out?
  
  says the troll.
  after six hours of trolling, you’re just getting madder and madder.
  why keep doing this to yourself?
  
  you need psychiatric help
  
  Difference is I explicitly said I wasn't arguing. If you think you're winning an argument... what's it about?
  
  Difference is I explicitly said I wasn’t arguing
  you lied. shocking!
  If you think you’re winning an argument… what’s it about?
  you tell me. you’re the one who came here to troll
  
  That's right. I came here to troll you, not argue.
  Why do you keep acting like I'm not making good arguments when I tell you I'm not arguing in the first place?
  Answer please.
  
  That’s right. I came here to troll you, not argue.
  and you’re proud of this? lmao
  Why do you keep acting like I’m not making good arguments
  acting? who’s acting? do you think you’re at the movies or watching tv? lmao
  Answer please.
  why should I?
  
  acting? who’s acting?
  Okay that's perfectly fair. You believe I'm making arguments.
  On what topic are we arguing?
  Answer please.
  
  You believe I’m making arguments.
  you said that, not me.
  
  I said you were acting like I was making bad arguments.
  You indicated that you were not acting.
  So I was making bad arguments. At least in your perception.
  What topic were they on?
  Answer please.
  
  ok
  
  This isn't a very convincing argument.
  
  Neither do you
  
  “no you!” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.
  
  I'm not trying to argue though. What are you, stupid?
  Answer please.
  
  I’m not trying to argue though. What are you, stupid?
