Making Aristotle be not "pissed" at troll? O_o

Aristotle like Plato were so convince that being right mattered so much more than ethic that they did not care and resorted to any means to make their points; lying, fallacies, spinning the truth, using auhority (they loved auhthority).

And they would call sophists (troll) anyone who they would consider opposing them and ridicule them.

They were the bulliers of the wisdom.

They were the prominent philosophs lobbying for the Republic because Athenes was a democracy, and rich people was paying Plato to attack the concept of democracy so that the wealthiest could finally rule the city. (which resulted in the fall of Athenes)

Aristotle and Plato were more than trolls, they were assholes.
