This is weak for the pit I know, but come-the-fuck-on. It’s obvious you were [chumming the the lefties](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13517234&postcount=1) in an inappropriate forum. I don’t buy your [I-was-just-kidding](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13518118&postcount=8)(wink wink) post. If you don’t want to “bother ever visiting this website anymore” (no punctuation), don’t. ‘Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord spit ya’ on the way out. I’m kidding of course. I know you are going nowhere… damnit. ---

I’m fully on board with this. **Cisco** , that was the lamest attempt at trolling I’ve seen. Hell, it’s completely indistinguishable from a non-trolling post. You’re really going to have to up your game if you want to compete with some of the better practitioners around here for the big fish. ---

It’s obvious you were [chumming the the lefties](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13517234&postcount=1) in an inappropriate forum. 1.) What the fuck does “chumming the lefties” mean? 2.) If it’s something like “poking fun at,” you’re completely misreading the comic, which is mocking right-wing objections to plans to reverse the damage we’re doing to our environment. > [@billfish678](#): > > The Lord spits on people’s asses? I did not know that. No, no, read it again. It clearly says _spit_, not spit _on_. I can only assume that God is preparing us to be roasted over a slow fire. ---

I think she means that Cisco was throwing blood in the water to attract leftie sharks so we can be mean to conservatives. Again. Remember, they’re the victims in all this. ---

Jaine, you’re a quality poster. But I don’t get this one. I thought Cisco’s “I-give-up-on-you-thick-skulled-doughnut-bags” tongue-and-cheek style comment was directed towards a couple of posters who seemed to take the amusing parody-style cartoon seriously. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > 2.) If it’s something like “poking fun at,” you’re completely misreading the comic, which is mocking right-wing objections to plans to reverse the damage we’re doing to our environment. This. It sounds like a few people did not understand the comic. It’s like "so what if climate change is not really occuring? Then we will have **created a better world** for nothing! It’s like “creating a better world” is not an excellent goal in and of itself. It’s saying that the climate change deniers do not agree with a goal of “creating a better world”. That they think this goal would not be a good thing. Look at the list on the blackboard: "clean water, air, Health “Children” Do you get it now **PlainJane**? Are you embarrassed? ---
