Pointless. To insult someone they must know you are doing so.

Nope.

When you've been insulted, you've been insulted whether you know it or
not.

Sometimes it's even sweeter if don't understand the insult because that
shows off your stupidity.

The point of insulting someone is to annoy them.

---
So say you, but there are many more reasons than that to insult someone.
---

Like what?

---
Like to put them in their place, for one.
---

If I don't understand the insult, you haven't placed me anywhere.

If they don't understand the insult, you've achieved nothing.

---
Sure I have.

What I've achieved is discovering that your insight and intellectual
resources are insufficient to understand the insult and then to
retaliate.
---

What use is that?

---
It's a weapon I can use against you in the future.

Admittance of trolling noted.

You might aswell wait until someone is out of earshot then call him names.

---
You keep responding, so you're well within earshot, and you obviously
feel you have an emotional investment in the thread, otherwise you'd
just drop it.

So why do you keep responding?
---

To prevent you getting the last wod and gloating about it.

---
So it's OK for you to have the last word, but not for me?
---

Of course.

"Polly want a cracker?"

Trite, predictable, and ordinary.

Sorry, I've not enrolled in the troll school like yourself.

---
Bull****.

You're just not that good at it and you hate it when you get caught
because you can't flame worth a **** either.

So you do admit to trolling.

A man in a hot air balloon* realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He* descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a* friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm* still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've* delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.*You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position
you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
