    Using obvious sarcasm as a rhetorical technique is not in bad faith.

    Aggressively playing dumb to manufacture an excuse to attack the person doing so as if his argument were sincere, even though you yourself admit you knew he’d “been glib this entire time,” however, is in bad faith.

    This is your warning.

      Good point, you should nuke this entire thread and/or ban both of us for veering so far off-topic.

        Nah, this isn’t some elementary school with a zero-tolerance policy where we punish the victim along with the aggressor.

          Ah gotcha, you’re like cops: you ignore rules except when you can stretch them to punish someone you disagree with.
