My favorite thing is when some fucko with a username like that and a vehement post history full of inflammatory white supremacist bullshit argues that their clear perspective should have no bearing in the argument they're making in whatever thread, and that your liberal PC white guilt complex or whatever is behind you calling them out. Um... no; you just walked up to me in a fucking klan hood and somehow expected me to have an ordinary conversation with you?

I think I agree with what you said, but I can't figure out the syntax of this sentence

I, too, like getting angry at people I made up in my head.

The idea that unrelated arguments have any bearing whatsoever on another discussion is a logical fallacy. If you're stumped to the point of angrily reading through someone's post history, there's a good chance that you're just as clueless as whoever you're trying to convince yourself you're better than.
