Has it got to the point where replying to this would be a violation of the ‘Do not feed the trolls’ convention? I had written a brief response but realize it may be better to ignore instead. But I will defer to the judgement of others here… if there are people who are still taking mwaser seriously then I will engage as appropriate.

mwaser does not sound trollish here to me:
This community is far worse at that than most I’ve seen. Y’all know how to argue/debate “logically” much better—but it’s normally to the purpose of retaining your views, not discovering where you might have gone wrong or where you might do better.
There are users whom I think this describes well, including a few very active and usually-correct ones.
Good point. An important distinction. Trolling is entirely different in nature (and much more normatively objectionable). Although one way to create trolls is to feed the crackpots after midnight.

Not exactly, but I would support a “Do not feed the crackpots” convention.
