the issue is for every time i rebutt their altnet advertising, they just enter another debate of "franky1 wrong coz troll"

(...)

all they can do is insult and basically say "wrong because troll"(boring and non explanatory rebuttal of no substance)

I would call that self-inflicted.

If a forum user has spent years undermining their own credibility by making fallacious and sometimes even libellous statements, most reasonable people will naturally start to doubt what that user is saying. Cause and effect. I mean, look at some of the replies in that topic. You did this to yourself. People see you as a joke. You have fully earned your reputation:

He is a full-time forum troll and a bitcoin hater. Considering that heavy trolling is against the forum rules I am surprised he is still around.

Old members know this piece of shit very well. He is against every major bitcoin update there is because blorgstream bla bla bla typical Roger funded fuckface

Surely in this case it's the same as suing a dog for pissing on your lamppost. They can't help it. It's just what they do.

The screeds of excruciatingly boring shite on this subject are as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. A broken chatbot programmed by a mong with 3 tape recorded phrases to work with would be less predictable.

Franky will always lose his marbles when it comes to anything related to LN.
Unfortunately for him, his arguments are really pathetic and most of the time when he enters discussions he has no clue about what he is talking, no wonder he was banned from certain sections fo the forum.

He's highly annoying and sometimes a flat-out troll but on occasion I've been forced to learn something just to be able to counter his bullshit

But no, we're supposedly the bad guys for not respecting you when all you do is lie through your teeth. You need to start giving us a reason to take you seriously. Act like a troll, get treated like a troll. Take some responsibility for your own actions. You can't blame us for how we see you. Well... clearly you can try to blame us, because that's exactly what you're doing now, but we're still going to see you as a troll.

but i can back up what i say with code, bips and quotes and block data

If by that you mean you reference something and then immediately draw a flawed conclusion from it, or deliberately twist it to mean something that was never intended, then sure. You're the undisputed master of that. #1 champ.

I don't post on the LN threads

You should. I believe you to be a knowledgeable, well-respected member of the board with a great deal of integrity. I would much rather listen to arguments against LN from users like you. Your posts would make sense and be based in reality. The problem is becoming increasingly apparent. If everyone is piling in to bash franky1's insanely terrible posts, where all he does is alienate people and wind them up, then perhaps the message is getting a little one-sided as a result. We need sensible posters who can make logical arguments about issues with LN. Please, philipma1957, head over to the other topic and join the discussion so we can have some balance.
