Chris, I'm just responding to your tone in general. Posting an image like that, with no context, does not lead to productive discourse. Especially with somebody you just called a troll. Again, I had no idea what point you were tyring to make. Because you didn't try to make one.

Not to *fight* with them. If you're not interested in doing that, that's fair enough. But take a beat before you hit "post" for the sake of the people who are.
