@Sasquatch,
Like yourself I have noticed that @systolic is capable of being somewhat... harsh / edgy. Room for improvement, yes, but I'd not call it "trolling" as he usually has a valid point to put across. I think we'd all prefer robust debate rather than some guaranteed freedom from ever getting offended.

Yes, suppose so, but with a definite sense of pity.
People who upset us sometimes do so for a good reason. Sometimes it is that our reality needs to get challenged and we don't like that. Sometimes we are just simply in the wrong. And because we feel strongly about something does not make it/us any more correct about it.
Socrates supposedly said, An unexamined life is not worth living. Saying that, he was a pain in the butt and the good Athenians eventually made him drink hemlock. Suppose they did not have ignore buttons back then.

...cut it out - this dude is a prize cock - I suggest you read through a history of his posts: you will see a troll pattern; together with a deserved ban for some of his behaviour.
Happy to debate, and be challenged - but you have to respect the person putting up the debate...and based on prior behaviours, many of us struggle with that...
