Is it unethical to troll arrogant people?
I've been on a mini quest to try and get my Twitter account banned without doing anything strictly against the ToS and my first idea was to start messing with people who say something completely untrue, then refuse to back down under any circumstances. But that got me thinking, is it okay? I'm not outright insulting/cyber bullying them, more just arguing with them with a little bit of sarcasm.

Though i agree it could be fun at first, conspiracies are legit dangerous. People are so desperate for meaning, 17% of Americans believe the government is lead by a kabaal of satanic lizard people eating babies and shit like that.
My mom is deep into the rabbit hole of nonsense, and it genuinely consumes her. Nearly all her friends abandoned her, she almost lost her job, and that's only reinforcing these convictions. If something like January 6th was happening in my country, I bet you, she'd be there. The time conspiracies were harmless fun are gone. They ruin people's lives.
Damn. It sucks that you are absolutely right. OK let’s not do my previous plan. Sorry to hear about your mom.
Im also sorry to hear about sneezy mcglassfaces mom. The BBS I hung out on always referred to people who always act on "bigger is better" and hated anything unusual/ foreign as "Reptiles" because well reptiles behave the same way. I think we all thought it was clever and funny. Fast forward a few years the place is full of people apparently really believing reptiles in human skin suits are real and control the world. Similar thing i saw happening a few years later with the warhammer community. Talk about people unable to read sarcasm.
