You're arguing opinions as facts and making me debate semantics. I don't agree that this was trolling by the least.
Also – since these are just opinions, they are worth equally much. The truth isn't something you or anyone else owns. And what do you mean, 'deserves.'
This isn't trolling. This person is arguing, is what I think. Arguing civilly which is what this is, should be possible out here in the boonies (whith which I mean HN, in the most amical way).
I question the sincerity of their arguments. The same person posted at least one ridiculous nonsequitur (about guns), quoted the same passage several times in several places with demonstrably incorrect explanation of its meaning (even after being corrected about what California law says about the subject, with references), made silly analogies about living rooms, and all around pulled a Gish Gallop spread across a couple dozen comments.
If a "civil" argument is designed to mislead and intended to make the conversation incomprehensible, can it be anything other than a troll? This is a trolling tactic and has been forever. Look up "forum sliding", for another fun explanation of one of the tactics hyperliner is using.
