It may have the opposite effect. It’s worth a try. ---

A site that is dedicated to eradicating ignorance is not, I hope, going to engage in such utter dishonesty. That’s the ethical argument. The practical argument is that, giving anyone what they want does not stop them from wanting more of it. I have yet, in my long life, to see that happen. ---

Such an attitude is worse than worthless if one isn’t willing to also change their own mind upon sufficient evidence/prompting/persuasion. ---

Unusually, I spotted a spammer who had been quietly name-dropping a VPN business into their posts for over a week and had started including links. Flagged and gone. ---

**kainoskairos** , joined, started a zero effort “what do you all think…?” thread, and hasn’t read a single other post. Why do so many people fall for this? ---

I don’t know why people respond to such posts. The board software tracks how much time people spend on the board. In the case of that person, the board shows “\< 1m read time”, meaning they spent less than a minute here. ---

Any thoughts about new-ish poster **Malkav23**? Joined in August of this year (2023 for future readers) and as of today 22NOV2023 has created 4 threads, zero replies, and a whole 3 minutes read time. Most recent OP is about stocking their storm shelter with beef jerky. I mean, innocuous enough, and their second (nearly 3 months ago) is about the longevity of beef jerky (almost identical except he new one has a reason as to why they care). Nothing though on sensitive or hot button topics. I’m not sure it’s a troll, as there doesn’t really seem to be much to them, but they’re definitely unusual. ---

Well, I can understand being obsessed with beef jerky, and coffee, but asking about Edmund Fitzgerald? That’s just plain weird. 🤣 ---

If the _Edmund Fitzgerald_ had a load of jerky, twenty-six thousand tons more than the _Edmund Fitzgerald_ weighed empty, she’d have made Whitefish Bay. ---
