Awww...you know, I do have some respect for this particular troll's thought process, because he sometimes points out good counter arguments.
Anyway nowadays I ignore blatant flamebait. At times there is some fun with post and counter post.
Admiration someone that opposes to your thoughts is good, especially when you learn from them; which eventually improves the way you think that might help you IRL where you have to do rebuttals. And if our local uni kids are able to rebut 1/2 as good as he/she does, Malaysia can easily surpass many countries.
Member's behavior aside, back to our Note 3/4 thread politics to keep things on topic. Its good to have fun, but I don't think a page that consists of 20 posts of two people arguing on something vain or I should say an argument that goes one step forwards and one step back. Both parties are attempting to prove their points but eventually canceled off by some statement the latter gave. In short it is something that doesn't benefit anyone.
Imagine a group chat conversation on Whatsapp, and it looks like this:
Flamebait
Bait taken, counter argue
Flamebait
Bait taken, counter argue
Flamebait

Flamebait

And the rest of the forumers will try to intervene and make the fireball bigger and bigger. And now it will look like this:
Flamebait
Bait taken, counter argue
Trying to stop the fight, in the end got involved

Things only stop when mods come and intervene and permaban the flamer. And we all know it only takes 15 minutes to open an email account and to register a new account. Usually the peace will last 15 minutes (unless he or she is asleep), no longer than that. Therefore the only way to STOP, is to ignore his baits. It takes two hands to clap, it requires fuel for a spark to burn.
What's worse it happens over multiple forums and multiple threads. Note 2,3,4,OPO,N5,G3,iPhone6 and random kopitiam threads that involves the discussion of Apple and Android devices.
I shall stop here.
