What conversation are you having?
Say what? I don't know the guy.
Would you troll someone in person? Because you're basically comparing someone that's brave enough to say it to his face, to someone that hides behind a keyboard.
A boxer that walks away from a troll gains more respect since he has his target right in front of him and he resists. It's also a respect to the guy for being brave enough to do it while presenting his face as a target.
These days, the trolls are hiding behind a keyboard, actively and needlessly riling up people knowing that there's nothing anyone can do about it and so he just keeps trolling and trolling and trolling.
There's a difference between the two.
