TakeYouToTasker Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 15 minutes ago, BeginnersMind said: Exhibit A. Lots of posters in this thread could do better. Maybe the time to call McCain a traitor, and call the people saying he's a traitor pieces of garbage, is not in the thread commemorating his impending death. We had every day before today to discuss McCain. And we will have many days to come. But maybe for a few weeks, we can show we're not the Westboro Baptist Church. I tend to prefer the Orsen Scott Card approach. An honest accounting of the man's life. He started with such promise and valor, as a true hero; but never lived up to his life's potential, instead becoming corrupted in the core of his soul. We don't celebrate bad actors in their lives, their deaths, or in the unfortunate ground in between. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a dissenter to your beliefs shows up...you circle and - in your minds - tear them down - and then congratulate each other. People with contrary views to the norm on this board show up - get ganged up on - realize what this board is all about - and leave. No idea what Tiberius does... What you guys share is a belief...almost a religious mindset...not backed up by data, quantitative analysis or facts...but by a belief and faith...and - similar to a religion...can't argue with that... Are you describing Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters? You are, aren't you; you sly fox, you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so typical of you. Since your first appearance here, you've done little more than condescend. Only one time - once - have I ever seen you come back with an honest, thoughtful reply (I asked you what besides then-candidate Trump's health care ideas you would support, and you actually supplied a list of suggestions in bullet points). The rest of the time you simply drop in, lay a little smarm on someone, call us a right-wing circle-jerk, and run away. Not very intellectual, and certainly not what I'd expect from somebody who frequently reminds us that they once held public office. I realize that if you reply to me, it will likely be in several weeks per your usual MO so I won't be holding my breath. However of you actually do read this, then I'll take this opportunity to let you know that I do give you credit for not trolling anyone or continually starting useless or repetitive threads.

What banana republic podunk blind-deaf-and-dumb hick town voted him into anything? You sure that wasn't some yearbook-style "Most likely to get his finger stuck in his nose" vote? Or maybe when he typed "public office," his finger slipped and hit the "L" accidentally? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few times he referenced it, it was simply "public office" or possibly "elected office", and later said it was a position on a local school board. Then again, your idea about the "L" key is a solid possibility too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) School board seats basically require you to only get enough signatures to get on the ballot. When I was in college and working at Denny's a cook who wa's also in college won a seat on the local school board.

And during the Christmas season too! ? tsk tsk I think it's mostly just the same few people who keep coming back with new user IDs. My list of ignored users has grown significantly since Trump took office, but I don't think very many of them are actually new posters, just the same old ones coming back for more trolling. They add nothing, and are only here to goad others into responding to their ridiculous posts. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have nothing to apologize for. This thread isn't about people being polite to people, it's about trolls. You're not a troll. Not even close. This thread is about those people who come here to do nothing but flame regular posters. It's about the ****heads like Gary/The Bug/BigMcWhatever/tomorrow's yet-unnamed loser du jour, and the question: why do so many otherwise intelligent people bother to interact with them? They don't care what any of us have to say about anything. People who reply to their bull#### are voluntarily dancing on their strings, doing nothing more than showing how easily they can be manipulated. Why bother? I started this thread because there has been an influx of idiot trolls trying to insinuate themselves into this board for no other reason than to amuse themselves at our expense. If it was imaginative, original trolling, then maybe it might serve a purpose. It's neither original nor imaginative, so why engage? Seriously, I'm on the verge of unblocking Gatorman, because if I have to deal with something that retarded, then I prefer something better than the amateurish crap we've been subjected to lately. Tibs may be a troll, but he's head & shoulders above the $%#@ing retards infesting this place lately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
