If you spend too much time in Internet gab venues, you come across various folks whose special skills don't really translate well into out-loud conversation. There's the guy who just walks into the party and insults everyone there and pees on the rug and then stands around laughing at how those people are so easily provoked. There's the guy who keeps backing up the conversation to insist that you abjure the sloppy wording in that thing you said 10 minutes ago, because otherwise you're not a serious person. There's the guy who says "I call bullshit on you" and then just sits back knowing he's destroyed your credibility forever.

But these are usually self-limiting activities. If what you want is to get people talking all the time and never be sure what they're talking about, you have to develop a special kind of infinitely flexible and self-assured innocence. This distilled example is based on a certain guy who hangs out at a certain place; let's call him Plato.

Plato: I hate it when dogs try to act like cats. I see all these dogs meowing all the time, and they're always coughing up hairballs, and some of them have three legs, and they're always drinking water too. Why can't there be some dogs who are just dogs?

Other people: What the fuck are you talking about? Dogs are supposed to drink water, having three legs has nothing to do with being a cat, and they don't do those other things at all.

A somewhat interesting discussion ensues between other people about the qualities of cats and dogs

Plato: (calmly) You don't understand. My whole point was about the basic nature of mammals. They're totally different than reptiles—for instance, they have ears.
