Observing the spew and believing the spew are two different things.
In this case Typo Negative observed the spew and believed it to accurately represent “folks on the right” (from LSLGuy’s post).
Folks on the right are the ones that watch Fox news though. I’m not getting the distinction that you are trying to make here. Who is Fox news catering to with this rhetoric aside from folks on the right?
Also the talking heads on Fox are also folks on the right, are they not?
Most are so far right, they’re in danger of passing the International Date Line.
Alright, I’m convinced, he’s a troll (at least some of the time), based on his faux incredulity and unbelievable stance on Trump and nuclear weapons in the mocking reverse concern trolling Hillary Clinton 2020 thread. I’m going to try and stop engaging with him.
I’m not going to reply to him any more, but I’ll give him kudos for a successful nitpick on written first strike policy - I did have that wrong. But it confirmed to me that he’s just trolling, when he focuses on something like that and ignores all the totally batshit things Trump said about nuclear weapons, while pretending that anything Clinton said was worse.
Oddly, I have found him a more legitimate poster lately rather than the opposite, even given his predilection for picking nits. He seems to be putting more effort into expanding beyond just quibbling about the definition of words and whether what we’re saying means what we think it does. Some of his threads lately have been interesting.
Proof that even the blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.
Maybe he’s just a sometimes troll, but I’m going to try and stop wasting time trying to figure out when he’s interested in legitimate discussion and when he’s just trying to piss off liberals.
What about the posters who are just trying to piss off conservatives? There’s at least a few of them.
Surely this isnt a transparent attempt to draw equivalence in a bid to distract from the topic of the thread, right? :dubious::rolleyes:
Typical conservative troll. Dishes it out but doesn’t want any return fire. Snowflakes and needing a safe place and all that.
I called out that thread as trolling right off the bat in the Omnibus thread, but really, you were the one who brought up the issue of first strike. Can’t blame him for correcting you since you made such big deal about it.
I wasn’t talking to you.
I’m interested in iiandyiiii’s opinion.
Go away troll.
No, I don’t blame him for that part, it just made me realize what he was actually aiming at with the whole discussion. It was dumb of me to get involved in the first place.
Not the first time I’ve fed a troll… Hopefully I’m getting smarter about it.
So what? I’m not allowed to address you?
Maybe this was too harsh; there are liberal trolls too, and that’s also bad.
All right, which of you jokers played the Queen of Diamonds?
