Even the Pit doesn’t allow trolling, but yeah, it certainly encourages behavior that skirts the “don’t be a jerk” rule. But it’s not politically biased - just recently, a longtime user named Lissener was banned for continually being a jerk in his style of posting - posts that virtually all involved obnoxious rants about the right.

Fact is, liberals just plain out-number conservatives here at the SDMB, but there’s plenty of both. And both sides have intelligent, interesting, rational members whose posts are consistently overwhelmed by the sheer volume of political assholery.

OK, that was pretty damned funny. You’re rather swift on the up-take!

I went and rewatched Starship Troopers last night, just to commemorate Lissener’s passing.

Gosh golly, that was fun.

Thanks, I just spit _my_ Cosmopolitan (not the pulp variety) all over my monitor.
