    Yeah, I ended up going with a block anyhow. They may be legit carrying separate, distinct views in their head, but it was already feeling a little self contradictory by the time we were a couple layers deeper.

      Have to defer to Occam’s razor, not Hanlon’s, unfortunately. The simplest answer is more often right when deciding between malice and stupidity, and this user’s actions can most simply be explained as trolling.

      Blocking and banning are the only reasonable responses to trolls who play these games with their words and intentions and who thrive on being the nice, innocent victim in response to every challenge.
