Troll or not, if you enter into a debate with someone you only serve to validate their opinion.

It's a joke, if you enter a debate with a joke you just continue a joke.

Or that could be a world conspiracy, you know, like the one where Santa and children of the world made adults believe Santa doesn't exist.

That's not true. You don't validate someone's opinion by honest debate with them.

My point is I don't think it's actually their opinion. You can't have honest debate with someone who's pulling your leg. It just makes you look like you can't take a joke.
