When a shitcoiner is trying to drag me into a useless debate, I just imagine that he's a police thug, trying to make me talk...

I NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE. NO DEBATE, NO INCRIMINATION POSSIBLE.

I always reply (to the police) with "I do not answer questions", "I do not consent to answer this question" or I answer with another question that is putting them in the corner.

So same strategy with shitcoiners: no debate about that and that. If they can talk about using BTC in x and y case, ok we can have a discussion, but starting to compare x shitcoin with bitcoin, it doesn't make any sense and is wasting time.

The toxicity, yes is like a shield, to protect from their garbage. If you want to get dirty, you will smell like shit.
