[excerpt] Patrolman John Thermidor reported at least 25-30 teenagers in the apartment, as well as people on the stairs leading up to the second floor. He asked to talk to an adult, but there was no response from anyone.

A few minutes later, a man came down from the second floor and identified himself as Jonathan Monsarrat, 41, the resident and host of the party, according to the report. Thermidor told him to inform his guests that the party was over and they have to leave, but Monsarrat allegedly became argumentative and refused to comply. He assured Thermidor that there was no alcohol at the party. According to the report, the officer informed him that he had seen teenagers with beer bottles.[/excerpt]

Oh come off it, I didn't do anything to you besides questioning the validity of your statements. It may seem strange, but disagreeing with someone or acknowledging a deficit in someone's reasoning or behavior is not beyond the realm of humane treatment. It doesn't even classify as insult for most people.

(frozen) So calling me a "troll" is respectful to you?

Because it's pretty rude in my mind.

Ignoring my points and using strawmen is trollish behavior. I said I wasn't sure you're not trolling me, and that I believe you are trolling me. I used a word to describe your actions but I never called you [the person] a troll.

Maybe you don't see a difference, but to me there is one.

You haven't done anything wrong and I know you are a good person, so I strongly encourage you to let this go. Past experience shows that turil loves to antagonize people this way. You can go read her LJ to learn more about her, and perhaps also change some of your anger to pity.

But really, unless you're actually enjoying the arguing, there's no point.

So wait, saying that someone is actively antagonistic towards people and telling someone to not attempt an actual conversation with them (Which obviously didn't work) is now "cutting someone down to size"? Really? Cause, I mean, I know that if MY only defender was also saying that 5 year olds have right to consent to things that they frankly don't fully understand, I'd want them to shut up too.
