When is being mean to anyone a good idea? Is that the kind of person you want to be?

Getting b& from melons shit site, bravo.

You'll just be feeding them and Twitter. And feeding a nazi website helping fo keep it relevant is indeed unethical.

Depend on who you ask, but I would say it is unethical to troll anyone.

There's no need to be mean to get banned.

Just tweet about things like Tawian being a country, tag Japanese governemental accounts while bringing up the horrors of Ishii Shiro, defend children in Palestine, etc.

It's not necessarily unethical, but it's usually a waste of time. Kinda like Twitter.

I guess instead of bullying them you could agree with them but go into a more extreme and absurd direction than them that they start thinking you are crazy. Like if someone talks about flat earth then agree and say the earth is also filled with holes that leads to portals which is what gives the illusion of the earth being round, and that they are run by celestial beings who were created by tadpoles who ruled over our galaxy billions of years ago before departing into being portal keepers. And that the circles are a lie and that even balls do not exist and are just actually cubes that are operating on another dimension that vibrates so fast the movement gives the illusion of a globe which is an impossibility if you look at the true physics papers written by Einstein that the overlords want to keep hidden from us. And you know this because you have gained access to the third eye and can now see all truths on all planes of reality.

The most poignant thing I ever read from a 4chan greentext:

“Ironic shitposting is still shitposting”

Do with that nugget of information what you will.

Sometimes strongly-opinionated people (such as myself) are misunderstood as "arrogant". In the end, you need a lot more information and context on a person than just a few of their paragraphs to judge that. I'll say though that arrogance and lack of empathy go hand-in-hand, so that's one way to tell if they're arrogant.

Either way, if you give people permission to troll "arrogant people", then you are telling them that it's okay to judge others before you know them. And of course that's the source of a ton of society's garbage. Not to mention everyone's always in the process of learning and maturing. Nobody's perfect; and to be an ass to others is hypocritical, even if the area you're judging them for isn't the one you struggle with yourself.

Considering someone arrogant is an opinion. And nuance is hard to convey over text. Maybe you should reflect on why you find a particular person arrogant and what it is about their arrogance that bothers you. Take it as a chance for introspection instead.

Like with many weapons and tactics of manipulation, it depends on the circumstances. Using it for offense and defense are fairly different, for instance. It's essentially a form of cyberbullying though, and one should certainly be aware of that if they choose to partake.

Frankly though, I personally think trolls trolling trolls is a time-honored tradition of the internet since at very least the early days of the first big chat rooms. This frankly is not yet a world where one can necessarily exist free from digital violence, so having some personal skills for identifying and dealing with trolling can be helpful. And there's really only one way to get them.

If you're gonna troll, that's a good place to do it. Everyone else is. Except the small handful of poor journalists (or interns) who still have to monitor it for actual news anyway. Poor fools.

We had just one arsehole, now we have two arseholes.

Feeling justified to troll arrogant people is arrogant.
