Funny, every troll I've seen seems to me to be deeply insecure, and care what people think of them.

I don't think you know what that word means. I didn't present a warped version of their argument, I commented on the way it's presented.

I honestly think he doesn't fit the definition that troll has morphed into. He pretends to be harmlessly ignorant.

How is that relevant? I said nothing on the (non-existent) merit of the post. I was simply defending the assertion that it is a straw man.

You have an actual reliable source or firsthand account of protesters 'harboring' violent subversives? Or does it just fit your bias?

Coming back long enough to spread to someone else, except this time the bacteria you spread are more resistant to the antibiotic on average.

Or more accurately not wiping enough of them out for your body to safely finish the rest. Not doing so risks the remaining population-

A certain % of bacteria will be resistant to the antibiotic. If you stop early you run the risk of not wiping all the buggers out...
