You and Tanoomba are very similar in that you're both actually pretty great posters and people in general -- except when you get sucked into arguments with trolls. Tanoomba turned much more retarded than you do in the face of the trolls, but I think you'd be lying to yourself if you didn't admit that you often have some of the same last-word-ism that hodj has.
You really will never get anywhere with some of these people. And that's okay. It's not your job to change the entire world. For real, compadre, just forget about them and rise above. You and the forum will both be happier. No, it's not fair that you're the one that has to change, but it's obvious no one else will, so y'know? Transfer that energy you have when trying to help hodj (which is what I know you're truly doing at the end of the day) and instead put it towards figuring out how to ignore him
