It wasn't an insult at all. Plenty of ways to phrase what I said as an insult, and I used none of them. I was pointing out that: (1) you didn't seem to know what terms meant, and thus (2) were using that as reason to assume the other person is a troll.
I'm not defending the other person either, I just get annoyed when I see people assume everyone is trolling simply because they're offering a contrasting opinion on something. If someone really is trolling, it shouldn't be hard to point to why you think that.
He did say that the country of China, which is a dictatorship, is in fact a democracy.
You're right, I missed that. I removed that bit from my comment, as I think the rest still holds.
Fair enough, I probably got carried away a bit too, cheers!
