My favorite response for this is 'point to your mind.'
My mean response is '[email protected] is just a random user name with some words attached and no person actually exists behind it.'
Another response could be "A car is just some wheels and an engine."
Sure would be fun to watch someone try and drive some wheels and an engine.
The point of emerging systems is that they tend to be more than just a sum of their parts:

In One Piece the main characters name is Luffy.

Do you need to be so needlessly rude?
Is 'your' interpretation of things the only one that exists?
No one's been rude though, I don't know what you're considering "rude" or "vile"
The default response I get most of the time I comment on things is along the lines of "You shouldn't have thoughts or opinions and because you shared them I'm going to get as many other users to attack you as possible."
Thought this might be different considering the context of this post, but here we are. You're getting downvoted as much as you are upvoted for pointing out that someone is trying to manipulate the context to attack me. No responses either because if they aren't actually bots they seem to have trouble coming up with any kind of understandable explanation for their behavior.
It's like being in traffic and getting flicked off by the person that cut you off... when there was no one behind you...
