This is driving trollies.
It does not matter if you are or are not a professional trolley or even if you intend to trolley, for all I know you may actually believe this.
The effect this has on civil conversation is that of a trolley. A derail. A bad faith argument.
@Gabfest I have no intention of trading arguments with you or to even correct you. I am merely pointing out that the form of the argument, along with the content in it does not serve any other purpose than to be provocative.
