Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

Why do you think P. P. is a concern troll, let alone “classic” concern troll?

Indicators P.P. is not a concern troll

  1. Made a dedicated topic. Concern trolls usually want to distract from an existing discussion, not poison the water of their own discussion.
  2. Actually laid out the rationale for bashing Obama: he claims to work in healthcare and is annoyed at covidiots saying ‘but Obama!’ Now, I may have some more insight than others here since I also work in healthcare. And yes, covidiots are saying ‘but Obama!’ and it is really really annoying. Thanks a lot, Obama.

And to the accusations of sockery, did CarnalK ever claim to hold a doctorate in Nursing? Is there some kind of stylistic similarity I’m not seeing, other than the fact that a new poster wants to talk about COVID politics?

This:

"Why have I heard NO condemnation of these seeming hypocrisies? I have a hard enough time arguing this using science. I’ve scanned the internet for a week now looking for some rational news outlet who condemned this, and all I’ve found is Fox News and their (daily) condemnation. "

Easily refuted and demonstrably false. Nobody who spent a week looking would have failed to find anything from a non-wingnut source. They really gilded the lily there.

The OP rings false, as do many of the follow-ups. I think the OP is full of shit, doesn’t work in healthcare, and started the thread just to bash Obama. YMMV. But then again, I’ve seen it a million times already.

What Johnny_Bravo and BlankSlate said, plus:

  • Sharing what can only be intentional falsehoods, like “the tent was closed on all sides” and “there were 200 staff plus an unknown large number of guests.” That’s not someone making a mistake, that’s someone trying to push a narrative.
  • A healthcare worker who says the pandemic is “getting no better with vaccinations?” That’s either not a healthcare worker, or is someone invested only in bashing Obama.
  • The immediate jump to playing the victim when he encountered any pushback.

You have a point, I took that as hyperbole but you have a point.

Then again I believe it is the case if one normally browses the right wing internet, Google will realize you only want right wing sources. For example I spent about four minutes searching from my work computer and could only find one non-right-wing result, an Axios article that predates the party itself. Every other result for pages of Google search is right of center or obscure. The Week, The Hill (opinion), The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Fox, etc.

Maybe, but the person being represented in that OP is not a person who only reads the right-wing internet.

Shh1313 is banned? When did that happen? It says banned here (20 Aug):

Huh - last post (and warning) here: Tell me what you know about Delta-8 THC - #32 by shh1313

I have a hunch s/he’ll be back…

She got a warning for not following mod instructions to stop posting OT ramblings, and followed it by immediately posting an OT rambling. I’m going to guess she got banned for being too ditzy to pay attention to what threads are about what.

I’d buy suspended if that was all it was. But I’m guessing there was more to it than that.

I have no idea what it was that led to the banning, but “ditzy” is an understatement. S/he was either a trolling sock or a CT-spouting moron, and will not be missed.

Oh, I don’t know about that. Crazy has its entertainment value.

Yeah, I hoped we’d keep her around, and maybe it would do her some good.

Or she’d reveal her true colors and go down in a glorious fashion, like with that one Charlie guy.

Up to a point. It’s fun and games when she wears a hubcap as a “spaceray cap” and rants about moonmen and cheese weasels, but when she starts smearing feces on the walls you gotta kick her out.

Posting here because I assume this sarcasm would be frowned upon in P&E. This poster joined to concern troll about Obama spreading COVID, totally objectively and un-politically motivated, mind you.

Then they can’t help themselves but to accuse someone who allegedly misgendered them of being a dirty “educated progressive”

============

Librulz, amirite? I’m just asking questions here, but why is it always an educated progressive who’s the most sexist of everyone!?

Of course, there’s no way to know the politics of Tfletch1, so maybe we shouldn’t make that assumption. But I guess, you know, anyone who thinks Barack Husein Obama doesn’t deserve criticism for whatever Fox wants to freak out about is clearly on the wrong team.

PossumPie”…he (?) and Beck should get along swimmingly. [I’ll just note the newbie hasn’t gone back to that thread in 2 days]

But that’s the thing tho. These people hardly ever wander into MPSIMS and start contributing to one of the more casual threads. Gee I wonder why…

Hey! Don’t diss cheese weasels.

Are they good to eat?

I invoke an expert on culinary weasels.
