I'm sorry that you treat anyone with different viewpoints from yours as a troll. Don't worry, I'm not taking this personally.

That you can't see how much of a dick you're being when you accuse someone of playing "buzzword bingo" is proof to me that you can't be anything but a god damned troll. This isn't about having different viewpoints. This is about you objectively being an asshole.

Edit: Sorry, TRIGGER WARNING: Real things are being said.

If I were accused of buzzword bingo, i'd try to take it as good-natured criticism that what I said was perhaps a little too filled with lingo to have a solid meaning.

It's certainly possible to read this example as a trollish remark, there's also a perfectly valid reading which interprets it as an attempt to provide useful feedback. Since I assume neither of us knows q3k, we're not in a position to know which is true, except for q3k telling us.

It becomes pretty clear that it's not a troll when one puts his/her best-effort to interpret "realtime JavaScript cloud". It's a critic with a very obvious point.
Oh yeah Einstein, what's the point he's trying to make then?

God, this forum is just like 100% assholes these days. You can't even fucking see it either, can you? When was the last time you interacted with normal people in society? Did you just start out with bitter criticism and attacking their vocabulary?

If it's possible to gently point out that you're repeating the behaviours you deplore, I'd like to do so.

We all get how encountering wrongness and badness on the internet can put one on tilt, and we've all been there, but it's necessary to stop.

Hey dude, follow the thread: I'm defending someone from a bunch of bullies.

I'm not repeating those behaviors at all. I'm just calling a spade a spade.

You seem to think that someone who picks a fight with a bully is somehow guilty of also being a bully.

All you end up doing is passive-aggressively condoning their bullshit behavior in the first place.

I'm guilty of being nothing more than a fed up son of a bitch with a rude attitude. I can live with that.

You're morally bankrupt. Can you live with that?
