Trolling someone’s profile pic is definitely a sign you’re losing the argument, and it’s only possible because I have a profile pic and a real name.

You don’t.

You’re just this disembodied wad of impotent rage screaming at strangers on the Internet.

When you have a name and a face, then you have an identity and a reputation. If you have a reputation, it can be harmed by the things you say. I’m willing to take that risk because I have confidence my abilities as a writer and a firm conviction in my beliefs.

You are a coward who is afraid to attach the things you say to your own personal identity. You don’t have the balls to actually put yourself out there in any meaningful way;

Spend less time haranguing me with this “facts and logic” debate nerd horseshit. Spend more time honing your writing skills and building your name, then maybe one day you’ll know the joys of being pestered by an endless stream of pedantic jerk-offs.
