Hi Lou.
Those are very good questions that I elected not to ask for fear of losing an argument and getting worn down. Your logic is crisper than mine.
I would just add to your questions one regarding trolls. By what criteria does one determine who is a troll, especially when they are well-spoken enough to become wolves in sheep's clothing?
One other comment:
"insistently argue with anything with which they disagree."
Doesn't that sort of follow from logic, especially if one is passionate enough to confront ideas he deems harmful? Of what use is arguing against something with which you agree? Debate? Dialectic? I guess.
