Ah. Anyone going to ask him his opinion on women, particularly with respect to “nice guys”?

One can of worms at a time.

The early bird in the hand gets the can of worms.

Well, **webwarrior** continues to up his RW credentials in one of my threads, using a Christian website wordandway (without proper attribution despite requests) as a contrast to (his words) ‘fake news’ from CNN. We’ve tried to be polite so far (even though the it’s in the Pit), but I somehow doubt it will continue.

Thread is Michael Flynn’s Shining City on the Hill is you want to evaluate for yourself.

NOTE - still don’t think he is a troll, just an avid Christian RW consumer of Faux News who is looking for a hill to wave his flag on.

I don’t get the impression that webwarrior is a troll either. And I’m generally suspicious of that sort of thing.

In this case, that’s no space station, that’s a **moon**.

(That’s what is waving from the hill.)

Considering the quality of his arguments, it’s more of a Mooninite.

I retract my earlier benefit of the doubt - while _probably_ not a Trock (or he’d have been here already most likely), he’s showing strong Troll signals. His vapid one liner non-responses, especially in the ‘Country star Morgan Wallen’ thread (which he rose from a 10 month sleep) scream troll. Posting an out of the blue “Two sets of rules.” and then refusing to specify what he meant… yeah.

I don’t care if it’s a troll or not. It’s an idiot. I took a look after reading y’all’s comments and quickly put it on ignore. There is no sense troubling over it.

He at least took the strong, principled stance that slavery was wrong.

Ah, confirmation:

“Poke 'em and eventually the truth comes out of 'em.”

That’s clear Troll speak IMHO (from WW of course)

ETA - and he drew a modnote for the previous mentioned nothingburger in the country musician thread he zombied.

My confirmation was him posting about Trump Derangement Syndrome in response to something not even remotely about Trump. Miller had just said that he thought it was clear from context that his “Christians” (in scare quotes) meant the right-wing type.

Because the Right hates CNN which is actually fairly objective. (CNN has its own issues)  
MSNBC is pretty much as partisan as FOX. So they can ignore it.
