   Let me explain what happened very simply for those following at home:   
      
   Wasp posted an argument while simultaneously saying he wasn't agreeing with   
   the argument.   
      
   I said I could raise a whole host of objections, but instead wanted to know   
   why he posted it if he didn't agree with it.   
      
   Then everyone's favourite English-deficient poster jumped in to demand I   
   explain what my objections were while also saying he wasn't arguing for the   
   position.   
      
   And I said "Why should I, since nobody is arguing for it?"   
      
   And you're calling me a troll, and not the fellows who demand I post my   
   objections to an argument they insist they are not even making.   
      
   All of this despite the fact this is an old, oft-rehashed topic and an old,   
   oft-rehashed argument for which I have posted my objections many times on   
   this very forum before.   
      
   I'm not sure if I should be flattered you're so desperate to hear me   
   reiterate something you've all heard before, or dismayed you have nothing   
   better to do with your time.
