Tiger Beatdown: The troll is dead! Foxnewsification and the notion that all points of view are valuable

From my latest about internet comments and the legitimization of rhetoric violence:

For the past two or three weeks every morning, my rather inconsequential routine is greeted with a series of comments left by the same dude. This dude, let’s call him “MatrixMansplainer” as he likes to identify himself with oh so witty and original Matrix references visits this site every day to let us know how wrong we are. He seems to have a preference for Sady’s posts and particularly, he seems keen on rehashing arguments about certain books that Sady disliked. One would expect that this MatrixMansplainer would have realized, after so many weeks, that his comments are not welcome since I have systematically trashed them. However, just like his choice of monikers denotes a serious lack of originality (really? Who self identifies with Matrix references at this point?!), I would say that this Chicago dweller also lacks in self awareness as anyone with an ounce of it would have taken a clue and, you know, discontinued their behavior.
