I appreciate the sentiment, and for what it's worth, you'll never find me making personal attacks or insults to people who engage with me in polite discussion. I realize I could do better engaging with trolls, but I find it difficult not to respond in kind. None of us are perfect, all we can do is try to be better.

I'll just summarize my point: if you think you have educational value in your comments, that value is nil if the comment gets removed.

I get your point perfectly fine. The reality is that we're all human, and we react to provocations. That's why trolling works and why trolls do it. We all react in ways we wish we didn't because it's not easy to change your own negative behavior even when you're aware of it. All I can do is try to interact with people better.

No point lying. If you check the modlog plenty of his comments get removed. You can check for yourself.
