A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Whoa! Three paragraphs!
You seem to be under the impression you did nothing to get us down here:
Then block me. Or you know, don't even start.
I'm literally not, I was engaging in perfectly rational discussion, only you got weird.
Again, if this is the problem, walk away.
I'm not keeping score, but you've not exactly been levelheaded.
Another thing you don't seem to have noticed is that I'm the one helping you. Your very first reply to me was... unreasonable, so I started off simply defending what I had to say. You just got mean from there, never actually retorting but going straight for the hurt, rather than a discussion... So I switched gear and got down in the mud with you while trying to fit in just enough reason to get you to take a look at your own atrocious behaviour.
And you have the gall to offer to help me?
Now that is rich! Whatever let's you ride out of here, still up on that high-horse, I guess.
Why would I want to let go? It's still fun!
I found a guy who tells me to "touch grass" while actively devolving the interaction. Someone who says "grow up" while openly admitting they aren't themselves engaging in good faith.
I have to hold up a mirror! Forcing this type of person take a real look at themselves is cathartic as fuck! And its not even schadenfreude, invariably the person comes out the other side more introspective and a better person, whether they admit so or not.
You are improving. You've found a new way to cope with me. Unfortunately that doesn't excuse your earlier behavior.
No thanks on the help, but an apology will do. If you scoff at that, consider that I already made a list of things worth apologizing for.
I've talked down religious nuts online over the span of weeks. Getting you to admit you allowed an emotional reaction to negatively affect how you acted towards another person will be nothing at all.
This happened because I made a perfectly reasonable addition to what you had to say, and that offended you. Then when I defended my words with irrefutable logic... The list above.
It didn't need to, you could have handled the whole thing much better. All I want, and why I'm still here, is to make you see that. If you think my willingness to do something about rude people is a mental issue, I don't know what to tell you. If it is, I don't want it fixed.
