Trolls

The seem to be a high incidence of trolls on Althouse lately. These trolls are a little different. They seem to be reasonable and ask legitimate questions, but they are not interested in an answer or a dialogue. They just move the goal posts and change the argument. You can get sucked into their vortex by trying to debate them when they are not acting in good faith. To be sure there are some on both sides of the aisle. so just want to throw out insults and are easily ignored. But others are more insidious.

My new policy is to ignore them. Formerly I would mock them, but this encouragement is counter productive. They are to be scorned.
