Just because someone whole heartedly disagrees with us does not mean they are a troll. Our job is to discredit them, with facts and truth, and prove to them why their opinion or stance is wrong, if it is indeed wrong. Not to shame them and stop the conversation by belittling them and calling them a troll. Nobody got anywhere by shutting down discourse, the only way forward is to face it. This is very very easy to do if we are on the side of truth, and NOT selling and pushing lies ourselves. Once we start pushing some falsehoods, then we have serious problems.

With that said, there are certainly people on the internet that stir the pot to create chaos. They are most certainly trolls and evil as well. I have zero use for them and they should be shut down, ridiculed, and called out for what they are because a true troll has no legitimate truth backing them. They do it for a very simple reason, and that is to create chaos.



Agreed sir.




They never accept being discredited, they just throw something else out which is usually the intent to start with, to get the subject next off track.
Some of your post is correct, but after awhile your reasoning doesn't work and they're just an annoyance.

There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Fair point Hippie.

If they are indeed sincere and not a troll, then they will own being discredited by truth and an facts. They will own up to it.

The good thing about Google is we can increase our knowledge on just about anything. Of course a little knowledge can be dangerous. Here is a list of narcissistic disorders in marriage which can be expanded to business, religion or just about anything.

The Four Ds of Narcissism:

#1 Deny: People with NPD often deny pretty much anything that could put them in a negative light. This often comes up in marital arguments when the narcissist goes too far. They say something cruel and uncalled for, and then deny that they ever said that thing, even though their spouse heard it loud and clear.
#2 Dismiss: If a narcissist cant outright deny something, then they will just dismiss it, which is like the cousin of denial. Did your NPD spouse spend too much money on sports paraphernalia last week and now youre worried about making that car payment? According to them, youre making a mountain out of a molehill, even if you have financial records showing youre running the risk of going into the red.
#3 Devalue: When faced with someone with too much self-confidence, a narcissist gets scared because they secretly dont have any for themselves. In this situation, they will try to devalue their spouse as much as possible. A narcissist will talk down to their spouse to make them doubt themselves and feel less valuable to the relationship. One tactic that they use to do this is to create a new narrative to a situation or argument that allows them to frame it in a way that makes them seem like theyre in the right.
#4 Divorce: To get away from a spouse with NPD, the only option is often to divorce them. People who want to divorce a narcissist should not feel guilty, no matter how much their narcissist spouse would love it if they felt guilty every moment of their life. Narcissism inflicts emotional abuse, sometimes unintentionally. No one deserves to live with abuse each day. Protect yourself and your family by filing for divorce if it seems like the right way forward!


Of course one could always hope the narcissist will change, good luck with that !
