We really, REALLY need a rule about shit posting, or off topic posting.
And if it is already a rule, we need a LOT better enforcement.

Trolling is a diversionary tactic of those who “deliberately exploit tendencies of human nature or of an online community to upset people” or those “who post inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages” to disrupt normal on-topic discussions.’”

Sorry, I just don't see it as that disruptive or annoyingCome on Callen.
There is plenty, A LOT, of needless deflection, and outright trolling that gets left alone.
It is not how the conversation has flown in a lot of cases.

Sometimes I come across someone who will use the old strawman complaint when they cannot think up a suitable reply to something I have said. When I ask them to be specific about what they think i said is a strawman I usually get ilence as a response. That is an example of someone pretending something is off topic when in fact it is merely a dishonest attempt to avoid answering.There need be no rebuttal to shit posts, except for gtfo.
That;s why they are called shit posts. Don't feed the trolls.

It's a debate tactic and should be taken as you have wasted enough time and effort on someone who has reached their limit.
