I do not pride myself on trolling, I do not usually write negative things specifically to elicit a response. Should someone I am going back and forth with take offense, or get bent out of shape, that is on them.
Case in point- the guy I was going back and forth with wrote several opinions disguised as facts, I retirte switch facts.
His grammar, and syntax were horrible, which also gave me an edge.
He furthermore claimed that I only made certain statements about certain subject matter, which is just plain silly.
Furthermore, he had the audacity to claim that I didn't know anything more about a specific subject than anyone else, which is patently untrue, and I was able to demonstrate my education, training, and experience with this subject.

That, along with somebody snitching (probably, as I cannot confirm this,) led to the thread being erased by the mods.
I immediately, upon my discovery of said deletion, PM'd the Op to apologize.
That was two weeks ago, I had pretty much forgotten about it.
Then I get a PM, from Op, implying that he didn't belive me, and that I should not bother responding as he did not care what I had to say.
I then wrote Op another long, and heartfelt apology, and tried to send it via PM, but he had blocked me so I could not send it.

So I thought I would start this thread,
Tell an honest account of what I think happened,
Hoping that Op would see it, and see that I was indeed sorry that my actions contributed to his thread being deleted. Also that doing so would help him become less agro about the issue.

He voiced his opinion.

His opinion was wrong, he got called for it.

He then blamed you for calling him on a clearly wrong opinion.

In the military, there's a saying for people who halfway know what they're talking about.

"Stfu and color"

It means unless said person has a 110% idea of what they're speaking on, they are misinforming people and need to shut the hell up. Misinformation can cause all sorts of problems, thus, people need to understand;

He is entitled to an opinion, however, he is not entitled to a right opinion. Misinformation where information matters is just as much trolling as eliciting a negative response.
