    When the almighty vested you with the responsibility of defining the worst troll on a daily basis, I assume he probably wanted you to reserve that title for those who come to wreak havoc (although far be it from me to divine HIS will, unless of course I want to), not simply those who are wrong and can't admit it.

    If anything, the conversation here today has been enjoyable, and that is in no small measure caused by Wb's insistence on his point. In turn, WB may come to see the fault in his reasoning and grow new logic lobes.

    In any case, have a care; your karma may end up sending you to hell or even Gehenna.
