Except when two lines are on top of one another...

I usually refreain from commenting on people's dumb arguments, whether I agree with them or not. (Yes, there are quite a few out there who will argue positions I may agree with, but they argue them very badly. Heaven forbid that you should try to correct them to make their argument stronger.)

A problem with social media (I almost wrote "the problem") is that too many people seek the perfect applause line or "mic drop". Then in creating such a construction (using a process similar to that of Dr. Frankenstein) they eschew any sort of logic without taking into account if their position is upon solid purchase (as opposed to shaky ground, don't you know).

Some responses are so smug that the creators don't realize that there isn't anything clever about them at all and can usually be shot down with a single retort. This is generally taken as an inverted measure of their cleverness.

Social media is a crazy place.
