Some people just can't abide others enjoying something of which they do not approve. 

 

Exactly.  Just don’t read threads that don’t interest you.

Grammar aside, he's supposedly a high school teacher in Hawaii. 

An educator. Cancel culture. Woke know it all. I am not surprised or impressed.

Yes!  I know he mainly spams against other trolls, but 99% of his posts are textbook spam in my opinion.  

So you agree the large majority of trolls and spammers are liberals?

Nice ad hominem.

 

Another consistent problem over here.

 

To clear things up because I think it's so ingrained in the psyche over here that what I said just flew over your head:

 

You talk about conspiracy theories like flavors of ice cream. Q is "not my cup of tea," you say. You're "not interested."

 

Why not just call it the crazy, debunked conspiracy theory it is and has proven to be?

 

Instead, you talk about it as though you're shopping around for a car and that Q conspiracy theory is "not my cup of tea," but you'll find another one.

 

And before you get all bent out of shape, I'm just trying to help you understand what you were reading there since you didn't actually understand what I wrote in the context of that particular post by you.

Says the guy who still believes in the Russian hoax. Maybe you should take your own advice?

Discussing current events is now an agenda? That's a new one.

I quoted it as an example of the agenda-pushing since Rhino asked for proof that pushes his agenda. 

 

What specific agenda was being pushed? Show your work.

This thread was about how to deal with a BillSimme type, and it was I thought agreed the best way was NOT to reply. Reply to one and get another hundred.

Actually, only current and past members of the military salute during the national anthem.  Civilians are expected to remove their hats and place their hand on their heart.

 

So the poster is insulting veterans and the National Anthem.

I'm sorry, did I miss the part where someone pistol whipped you and forced you to come here? If so, damn.

 

Nope. We're talking about the merits of PPP. I weighed in that it's a stain on the entirety of this site. 

 

You think it's a positive and uplifting place. We differ.

Yeah, you have no agenda. That's at least good for a laugh, thank you.

For a teacher, your language skills really suk. Before you can explain something, you first must be able to properly verbalize. Poor students. Who begins a sentence "To clear things up because..."? Its laughable.

Yet, here you are. Contributing to the "stain". Why don't you take your holier than though crap and leave. That action alone will greatly improve PPP.

When all is lost yell, call names, burn and destroy things, or call  it a "stain".  They are a blight.

Nothing has been agreed to yet. If we are going to be successful with the "shunning" approach we need a more formal mechanism. If we go that route we should also probably get SDS's approval. I'm talking about something like a 3 person panel of known fair and reasonable posters that can make a determination for a voluntary shun that would be recommended to all posters. Anyone else have any ideas?

1. Use the ignore function.
2.  If you choose not to use the ignore function, do not engage.

That is all. 🙂

Except that hasn't worked very well in the past.

Because “I know what you are, but what am I?” discourse does not further the discussion. Honestly? The trolls are not solely to blame. Their schtick only works with a participating audience. No audience? No participation? They either get bored and go away, or talk to themselves. 
 

It also takes about 12 seconds to identify a sock puppet. We are not dealing with the masters of disguise. Again, ignore function.

 

Is it tedious? Yes. Will it make for a better sub-forum? Hopefully.

 

Note that I say trolls. I do not mean people on the other side of the political aisle who do engage in substantive arguments. Listening, engaging, and discussing both sides of any argument makes for great debate.

Then it should be very simple for you to be specific and tell me what that agenda is. Show your work.
