Especially if that authoritarian obtains power by appealing to the worst in us, and the worst of us. ---

And no one in the thread in any way participated in or defended the lynch mob. You just seemed to flip out when anyone said anything negative about the kid himself. You seemed to be reading a whole lot more into what people said. Also, for future reference, [Reason.com](http://Reason.com) is generally considered right wing or at least libertarian, so not the best cite if you’re trying to convince lefties. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > You just seemed to flip out when anyone said anything negative about the kid himself. It is extremely common rhetoric for people to claim that people who disagree with them on-line to be strongly (and irrationally) emotional simply _because_ they hold a different position. You should try to rise above that. ---

History of this message board shows that a lot of conservatives are willful ignorants of what the pit is just score silly points like that one, and I have to mention here that there were posters that were banned because sounding nice does not take away that illogical, bad fate or trolling posts can get you banned. ---

We have a script? And no one told me? :eek::smack: Here I just thought their bullshit was so easy to counter with logic and facts and all that, that anyone with a little bit of intelligence and real world knowledge could knock these idiots over like so many bowling pins. Especially when most of them simply repeat the same right wing talking points without any base line understanding of the issues or where those talking points fail. ---

So I just saw [this post in the NKorea thread in Elections](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21775950&postcount=69). Hmmmm; I don’t recall that name. Join date is 2009. Okay, “find all posts by…” [Search shows posts 1 thru 193 of 193](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?searchid=16025465)… only 6 of which are from this year. And look, his first 192 posts are all about _Game of Thrones_ or playing a thread game or commenting about Minecraft… all innocuous stuff. Then, his 193rd post just jumps into a political discussion that encompasses months of events and dozens of posts. There is nothing about this posting history or that name that doesn’t scream “trock!” Anyone wanna bet against me? ---

Still on that Korea business huh? The posturing from NK has been quiet lately, so only time will tell. If you’re correct I’ll own it. Monty, I get the same impression from you based on some of the content from your posts and replies, missing the target and all. I know you’re not, though. You’re a decent person. I’m sure your sentiment is shared wildly though among other frequenters here and some I cannot say the same for. Difference of opinion, remember? ---
