> [@octopus](#): > > I think Ditka does like to needle the libs a bit. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Assuming that by “a bit” you mean that that is the whole purpose of his existence on this board and that is all he ever does. And I see _ **a lot** _ wrong with that. And that’s why, after enduring interminable sealioning, the mods issued that note governing his future posts. > [@octopus](#): > > Conservatives get far more vitriol thrown their way in terms of volume and intensity. The fact that most of it goes non-noted much less non warned seems biased even though that is always denied in a Baghdad Bobesque fashion. The first part may be true only insofar as on this board, as in the real world, reality has a liberal bias, and bullshit is challenged. The second sentence is precisely the kind of bullshit that perennially comes up in ATMB and for which there has never been a shred of evidence. > [@octopus](#): > > WillF strikes me as someone who is enamored with the concept of libertarianism but hasn’t read enough to realize that you need some counter force to powerful economic entities. I’m pretty free market and pretty anti-statist and even I recognize that I don’t want amoral corporations ruling the world. You’re overthinking it. I stand by my assessment: **WillFarnaby** is insane, the equivalent of a ranting street-corner anarchist, and any attempt to have a dialog with him is equally futile. ---

What’s the timing between **Ditka** ’s suspension and the arrival of **Northeast Whats-s-troll**? I realize their tones are quite different — Maybe **Whats-his-troll** is **Ditka** ’s friend? ---

I suspect a _Fight Club_ situation. Our new friend is just **HurricaneDitka** with the phony veneer of civility scraped off. ---

Ditka’s back, by the way. Time will tell if he’s learned anything from his suspension. ---

He’s completely fuckered up the impeachment inquiry thread. He can’t declare that Trump was wrong until there’s a good investigation of the Bidens. And the fuck also won’t state that Ukraine has no business conducting the investigation. It took me like 3 pages even to figure out what the fuck his position was. He has a unique ability to use lots and lots of words, that when taken as a whole hardly state anything at all. ---

I’m pretty sure Refugee is Terr/Okrahoma. IDF veteran, the exact same political positions and posting style, knowledge of Russian… seems obvious, to me. I wonder if TPTB are investigating. ---

He has a unique ability to use lots and lots of words, that when taken as a whole hardly state anything at all. I completely disagree. I don’t find his position compelling, but he’s offering a nuanced position, and he’s listening and responding to what other folks say. There’s nothing wrong at all with someone doing that; and if we drive off the Max S.'s of the world, the only conservatives left on the board will be Hurricane and Shodan and their ilk, snarky idiots who will believe the dumbest shit rather than admit error. ---
