Default The problem with arguing with an idiot is....

.... that from the outside, it's not alway obvious who the Idiot is.

So why, given that Rod is the most obvious blatant troll this group has
seen for a long time, do folk expend so much time arguing with him? I
killfiled him on day one.

He's a 'troll' who is easy to rile. Which is worth the effort. ;-)

A true troll doesn't participate in threads, except to troll some more.
Wodney makes the mistake of trying to justify what he says and ends up
digging an even bigger hole.
