> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > He showed up last time - little whiner. Hey. That’s uncalled for. That was mean! Ok, I see in the other thread we have the same idea. Maybe we are related? Anyways, you got to be nice now; I can help you with some Bingo terms. We could use this. The dubious smilie. I like that. :dubious: yeah. I don’t want to monopolize the creative process. I want to do what they do in college nowadays, I want to take a step back and hear your voices. ---

You just told a troll “Here is a thread all about you”, and you expect him to avoid other threads and post here instead? What a ghodamn _idiotic_ idea. ---

Hijack! > [@MrDibble](#): > > I particularly love how the little rubber glove filled with sundried Nazi toenail scrapings was all “Ooh, are you _triggered_?” and “_snowflake_” in **Sunny** ’s Male Centrism Pit thread…and then is the \*\*\*first \*\*\*to run off to \*ATMB \*with his “Mods!

Oooh, that’s the kind of manly we should all aspire to! \*¡Un \*\*pulpo \*_muy macho!_ Generally speaking the conservatives here are pretty thick skinned. Not-so-dirty not-so-little secret: out in the wider world (ok, in twitter), those who throw around the snowflake term tend to not like it when you get in their faces. They aren’t especially resilient. Discussions often go like this: [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Moron: Oh, are you _triggered_, mah precious snowflake? Dude: Not really, but your argument is racist. Moron: WHAT!?!?!?!?! [/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] So again, conservatives who speak of snowflakes rarely have sturdy dispositions. Something to bear in mind: they are walking glass houses. Noah Smith: [INDENT][INDENT][INDENT] The far right has this fantasy that they’re the hard men, that liberals are these effete coastal elites who will buckle and submit under pressure. The reality is that lifelong adversity has given most people on the left a mental toughness the rightists can’t even imagine. This myth - that democracy, liberalism, etc. make people too weak to fight - occurs again and again. The Confederates made this mistake about the North. The Axis made this mistake about the U.S. Both the Confederates and the Axis were a LOT tougher than modern American Nazis. [/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT] > ---

Some people have only an hour or so to troll liberals, and then they have to get back to work. Others have all day. So I guess we’ll find out which is which.
