But that's essentially what I was doing. Trisc says things like that all the time, and is only occasionally genuinely trying to be an ass. In general, it's just a difference of opinion that I accept - he seems to like to joke about it as much as anything.
If we're using Cannoli as the example (which feels weird), I have to say that I have accidentally ended up really liking him. We rarely agree, but he's generally the same as 2000 - though he prefers to foment discord with more intelligent language than does 2000.*
*No offense meant to 2000 - it's just that Cannoli writes novels and you rarely use more than a few, dumbed-down sentences with that mfing smiley.
