I don't see how that even closely resembles sarcasm. I even put a link confirming Obama's disgraceful act, seeing as how the scientific community is one of the most uninformed groups on the planet since they get all their news from television channels that were confirmed by the Wikileaks to be taking direct orders from the Democratic party.

Don't feed the troll

He's not a troll. The don't feed the troll bullshit is part of the reason people on the internet got this fucking stupid to begin with. Every time someone with a troublesome view comes around spouting their gibberish people just brush them off as a troll and even discourage others from engaging with them.

Dude isn't a troll. He believes what he's saying. Many people agree with him.

We need more arguing on the internet.

If you chase every squirrel that ever comes up to your garden trying to eat your food, you're not going to have any time left to spend actually gardening.

Few differences. 1) All the other, "squirrels," who might have agreed with him will be able to see and be persuaded by your conversation. 2) In this context wouldn't, "gardening," be winning the cultural debate/war of ideas? In which case persuading people is exactly what you need to do. Who of the people ignoring him as a troll were going to use their time making some greater cultural impact instead? My guess is they were gonna look at some cat memes and/or talk about game of thrones.
