The people that think they are being clever by ignoring the entire conversation and just responding with Strawman! or Ha! You misspelled that so you don't know what you are talking about! offer so little to actual conversation that they don't even realize why no one wants to talk to them. They seem like they are just repeating what they saw people before them do without awareness or understanding of why or even what their words mean.

The internet is such a microbubbled place now. Each niche divided and divided again so that everyone can have exactly what they want and nothing more or less until each of them might as well be a homunculus living as a single entity if wasn't for the ability for someone to advertise or sell a product to that group.

I thought it is good if everyone has their own specific thing but we still need to be able to interact as a whole, and that generalized communication is a dying skill apparently. Or maybe we are just to many steps away from the original products that the internet is becoming full of Cargo Cults that just copy without reason... I dunno.
