Well, I’ll apologize to @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness for not scrolling up enough to find the stuff about children. I just saw what I thought should be enough to get the guy Warned (for advocating killing). ---

Thanks, y’all. As I said, it’s not a huge deal. But @What_Exit did basically call me dishonest, saying I was putting words in TOWP’s mouth and adding things that weren’t there. I would have appreciated an apology and retraction, instead of a change of subject to the issue of trolling. It doesn’t look like I’m going to get that. I’ll survive. What I would really appreciate, is getting these child murdering views the hell off this board. I am not seeing how they are any better than advocacy of pedophilia. ---

Putting words in someone’s mouth means inaccurately claiming someone said something they didn’t. In other words, lying. Paraphrasing a person means accurately summarizing what a person said. They’re essentially opposite of each other, why anyone assume one is the same as the other?! Also, people can despise illegal immigration without being willing to shoot undocumented children being brought into the country to act as a deterrent. I can’t believe 30% of US citizens are willing to directly participate in such a thing. TWOP is an extremist among extremists. ---

Your claim that TWOP’s position is the same as 30% of Americans is wrong. You were making assumptions about his position. LHOD wasn’t. He did not put words in someone’s mouth. He is not a liar. He accurately stated TWOP’s opinion–one so horrible you couldn’t believe TWOP actually said it. I understand why you were wrong. It’s hard to believe anyone could hold that position. But he does. He advocates shooting children who cross the border, and would do it himself. So I totally get why LHOD is hoping for an apology. You accused him of lying. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > While not as satisfying as getting rid of TOWP, I think we are all safe in confirming they’re an evil fucker, even if they may not be a troll. So it’s not like he’s exactly winning anything other than a (negative) popularity contest. I am repeating this because we’re getting into the rut of wanting to win an argument and tearing each other apart. Which is fine, because it’s the pit. BUT if TOWP is a troll it’s exactly the sort of shit they want to see. So again, I think it’s safe to say NO ONE IN THIS THREAD disagrees with my earlier statement that they’re an evil fucker. I do understand that there is disagreement with whether they meet the boards definition of ‘Troll’, or if their statements are literal statements of intent (if so, doubling down on the evil fucker above) or overblown RWNJ bluster. And since the mods tend to give the benefit of the doubt to all until all other options have been exhausted, I don’t see the point in shredding @What_Exit, especially if the thread in question is in @Miller’s corner of our little home. @What_Exit - it _does_ look like in an effort to be evenhanded (which is part of being a mod even in poster mode) your statements look like you’re downplaying the other’s concerns, which are understandable and considerable. There are absolutely better ways to address that, and we all have better things to do than give TOWP more headspace. ---

It was not as was obvious. I see nothing to apologize for. I also am not the person you should be complaining to about those fucking posts in the thread. Flag the shit and see what Miller says. I see nothing much to apologize for. Whereas your post is implying I think 30% of Americans support child murdering. That is really fucked up and uncalled for. > [@BigT](#): > > It’s not so much taking what you said out of context, and more mocking how wrong the statement was. Your claim that TWOP’s position is the same as 30% of Americans is wrong. You were making assumptions about his position. I was pretty specific and not even vaguely aware of the shooting people crossing the border crap. Even your correction did not support what LHOD had written in this thread. > [@What\_Exit](#): > > You do realize that well over 30% of the Citizens of the US despise immigrants coming across the Mexican Border? Don’t fool yourself, his responses are inline with a lot of people’s responses. Just not on the SDMB. Now as I’m absolutely not enjoying myself and have shit to do, I’ll wander away. ---

This thread here is how I _know_ **TWOP** is a troll and why I am confident that putting him on ignore months or possibly even _years_ ago was the correct course of action. Y’all are tearing each other apart (okay, mostly just **WE** ) arguing over precisely how fucked up **TWOP** is. He is living rent free in your heads. Report and block. Either way, you won’t have to deal with him again. ---
