[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7788609, member: 118780"]Classic troll move. Take a discussion that's been about coins and innocently add in "and companies". The standard troll transition. It's time to broaden the discussion. Now we're "full troll." Add a random statement about a subject the troll has little knowledge in the hopes of generating another maelstrom of comments. Standard rule in the troll handbook. Now that the discussion has broadened, scale it back down to the original point in hopes someone will take the bait above. Add another "I think" that doesn't really make sense, so those who are actually looting and trafficking are monetarily compensated for their illegally imported items. Make another limited statement that because the troll hasn't taken the time to fully research the matter, but it [I]seems[/I] wrong to the troll, then it certainly must be wrong. Make a comparison between the main subject matter of this forum with something completely unrelated in an effort to prove the point. Final step in the troll handbook: make a supposition that's completely lacking any support research or logic, but present it as fact.[/QUOTE]
