"Dickheads", "personal glory" ?

It is really obvious you believe in what you think. However, the way you phrase things makes me think not much more than "meh, troll, go away". Please tone it down a little.

That's an interesting proposal, but after careful examination it seems to me that it would reduce the intensity of the flamewars produced, and thus diminish the amusement derived from the whole thing, which is clearly an undesirable outcome.

You readily admit that you like to start flamewars for the sake of your own enjoyment -- the very definition of a troll.

You're being added to my filter list. I encourage others to do the same.

And the username alone doesn't? Might as well have been "National Enquirer" or any other supermarket tabloid...
