Attributed variously, including to George Carlin. May have been mentioned before on this thread, possibly even by me. Applicability to some of the discussions on this forum is a matter for debate.
Two similar quotes:
Never argue with a fool...
...Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
...He may be doing the same thing.
The first gets attributed to Mark Twain, I don't know about the second but it might have roots in the Proverbs of Solomon. It seems idiots have been arguing for millennia, so why did anyone bother making the Internet?
So one can argue with many other idiots at the same time without meeting them, no risk of physical violence so trolling had to be invented, -1

Just dreamed up a third translation:
"He who has many enemies, has many friends"
Might apply to Matthew Hodges
