It’s depressing to see someone make such interesting posts in GD (while I certainly don’t agree with you, you’re at least on the level of, say, a **Starving Artist** or a **Sam Stone** when it comes to how you express yourself) then consistently post such utter garbage in the pit. I went to college for Information Technology and am currently in an apprenticeship for the same. I have never studied liberal arts. Most of the posters here are specifically science-minded. You have neither understood what you are whining about - asking for a handful of specific, worthless, consistently awful right-wing trolls to be banned is not the same thing as wanting a “safe space”, it’s just wanting a message board that is less polluted by stupid; you might as well complain that we ban the people who post Goatse - nor your audience. ---

This is what a period looks like: . It’s probably located under the questionmark on your keyboard. It tells us that a sentence is finished. “lol” is not an alternative to a period. Used as such, it tells us you’re an idiot. ---

All the SDMB trolls pretty much have the same personality, so just so we know you’re not a bot, answer a couple questions: Do you like puppies? What’s your favorite movie? You see a turtle on its back. Do you turn it over? ---

I’m thinking that they get no attention at the message boards where their views are common and widely approved. Just another in a basket of ditto-bots. We aren’t exactly famous, or anything, but we get passed around like a discovery, a place where their crapola gets attention. 'Cause really, other than that, how would they even find out? ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > I thought the problem with liberals was that we were all rich, out-of-touch $7 latte drinkers who live in expensive cities and can’t relate to the real Americans who average $50k in household income. Turns out we’re the ones who don’t make good money! Thanks for clearing that up! AIUI, liberals tend to occupy both ends of the spectrum. Inner-city, impoverished folks tend to vote Democratic. Rich, urban, San Francisco or Seattle yuppies vote liberal, too. Conservatives are more likely to be found in the middle. ---

Conservatives are more likely to be found in the middle. [Not really](https://www.debt.org/faqs/americans-in-debt/economic-demographics-democrats/). People earning up to $50K tend to be more likely to be Democrats, while people earning over $200K are overwhelmingly more likely to be Republicans. The “rich liberal elite” is a standard Republican rhetorical trope, and there are some numerically small but highly visible examples among Hollywood stars and the top twenty multibillionaires and such. But statistically speaking, the bulk of the actual rich elites are much more likely to be conservative. ---

The classical humanities don’t, hence why they’re rarely tought in modern liberal arts classes, as they’re generally anything but liberal, unless you could John Stuart Mill’s philosophy.
