The User "Anonymouse" is a Troll

I will address Anonymouse's comments/defend my own case and then summarize my position. OV1: I am not attempting to get you evicted from DDO--I simply want to get you to stop being a troll. I have no issue with you being on DDO so long as you don't use it as a forum to spew insults and unsupported accusations. I would be quite content to have you on DDO, and just agree to stop insulting people and to stop mischaracterizing people and their beliefs in a way that attempts to slander/cast aspersions upon them. As for you offending people, look at many of the comments on your debates, as well as in the text of the debates themselves. You'll find people angered (and thus upset) by your insults and trolling. If I need to provide specific examples, I will. Furthermore, calling someone a slut is hardly inoffensive. Ultimately though, why would I give you a forum to speak if I wanted to silence you? I just want to call attention to potential violations committed by you of the TOS and generic principles of good conduct. Win, lose, or draw, I would just like you to refrain from this type of offensive language. OV2: Anonymouse basically drops this point--extend that this debate is not about the "West" or any other such group. It's only about his specific actions. Falling under this umbrella, I would argue that my stance on U.S. military intervention is entirely irrelevant to this debate. Even so, I would like to note that I do not--and did not--support the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, or (in light of recent diplomatic developments) potential conflict in Syria. It also seems that Anonymouse persists in calling me a fascist--which is a case-in-point reason of why he is a troll. Fascists are Jew- and Gay-hating authoritarians who condone torture, starvation, etc. I am none of these things; quite the contrary, I have many Jewish friends, I am gay, and I am totally repulsed by torture, including waterboarding, and such camps as Guantanamo that deprive people of their due process. Contentions 1, 2, and 3 -- Anonymouse fails to address any of the claims I make in support of the fact that he is a troll, including the fact that he flings insults about, makes libelous statements, and engages in pointless and often vitriolic/malicious rants. In fact, he almost appears to concede/agree with them when he talks about how others are trolls too. Extend all of my arguments. Anonymouse then goes on to list a variety of comments posted in response to his comments. I have three things to say about these: (1) These people are committing trolling acts as well, and I don't condone it. I challenged you to this debate because I found your comments especially offensive (particularly the "slut" and "fascist" comments); however, I support your claim that these comments are inappropriate and spam. YET, simply because one is trolled upon does NOT give one license to troll back. The extrapolation is that even if people troll on you, and it seems as if they do, that does not excuse your trolling, nor does it mean that you yourself are not a troll. (2) I looked up a handful of these incidents, and it seems as if most of them were made in response to offensive comments made by you. This, of course, in no way validates their trolling, but it does show that they were not entirely unprovoked. I just wished they had gone about pointing out issues with your comments in a more polite and civil fashion. (3) Ultimately, the fact that other people troll does not disprove or in some way invalidate that fact that you are also a troll. If you insult people, you must count yourself as one of their number, and thus you make my point for me. This type of behavior is inexcusable by anyone, and I'm glad you recognized the inappropriateness of other user's trolling. Maybe this will encourage you to temper some of your own remarks (which is all I want at the end of the day; I never want to be caught in a debate where I am at the receiving end of such comments.) Finally, I'm under no one's command besides mine own, unless someone comes into my dorm at night and injects me with mind-control serum. Basically, all I ask is that you--and all other DDO users who do--halt the use of insults and derogatory comments to create an atmosphere more conducive to civil and intellectual discourse rather than crude mudslinging and ranting. This challenge is a means for me to get that message across.
