You can really tell when there’s been a thread on Stormfront asking “What are some boards we can go visit to help educate the libtards? Or at least piss 'em off?” ---

Stormfront brigades tend to be of the "nurr…nurr you libtards…hahaha I winning!’"quality. Not the ‘overabuse of semicolons’ variety. ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > She sounds like a racist/troll undergraduate student to me, probably 3rd or 4th year. For some reason when undergrads hit their 3rd or 4th year, they suddenly think they’re an academic. So they start trying to sound like one. I call it “Scriptus Fancyus”, basically they try really hard to sound smart, but since they still don’t really know anything, they kind of fail. Now, I could be wrong about the Witch, but that’s what I think of when I read her posts. Anybody can be the smartest person in the room; they just need to find a room full of exceptionally stupid people. Sarah’s experiences on this board shows what happens when you wander outside that room. And while I don’t want to sound like an old man yelling at the kids on my lawn, I think it’s getting worse. Back when I was young, you had to read at least one book to be a pseudo-intellectual. Nowadays, you see idiots who think they’re smart because they watched a YouTube video. ---

Yes, we get in trouble for that. I wonder if she stopped taking her meds and the words came out to play. She almost sounds like she’s making sense, until you parse what she’s actually saying. I could see having a drunken conversation with her, back in college, and having my mind blown. Now I just start my eyes rolling at the phrase “nation state” and they don’t stop. It’s rather dizzying. ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Hmm. I don’t think it is. I could be wrong. I’m not sure. I’ve gone back, and I see the Thom Hartmann forums were discontinued in July, 2016. That being the case, I see no potential for a board war and will post a [link](https://www.thomhartmann.com/forum/2012/12/can-someone-refute-tom-woods-take-secession?page=3). Her fantasies in 2013 were the same as can be seen in the GD thread. I was amused by this response: > [@](#): > > So you have NO proof what was written into the Federalist Papers has legal standing, and you have NO proof the states retained their sovereignty when ratifying the Constitution. Your only argument is circular. Rather pathetic if it wasn’t so comical. > > BTW, there is NO explicit statement/reaffirmation of state sovereignty in the Constitution… and even when there was in the Articles, it says it was a permanent union. It didn’t work then, either. ETA: > [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Yes, we get in trouble for that. Since the forums at that site no longer exist, and since there is no possibility of interacting with anyone there, or anyone there interacting with anyone here, I don’t think posting a link is a violation of the anti-board war rule. If it is, I apologise. . ---

Delivered in a rural Colorado drawl while the camera panned across high mountains. Always seemed to me that was them trying to dispel the notion it was just lightly refined used beer. We’d do our own voiceover: “Ain’t no pre-flushed beer”. 🙂 ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > The subject of this thread is yet another troll who appears out of nowhere but seems unusually familiar with the workings of this Board. Hmmm. Darn socks. They don’t seem that familiar at all. Hence the suspension after some whining to the mods that they really, really truly read the rules but didn’t realize that ‘pig-ignorant’ would be considered an insult. ---
