I’m tired of you all bending our ears about it. ---

In the P & E thread concerning flights of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. under the cover of darkness (presumably to steal our jobs), turtlescanfly is either a troll (98%) or a moron (2%). Aspenglow is all troll, though. ---

Just an idiot, at least in that thread. It’s easier to tell with long time posters. ---

The whole purpose of that post was to spread disinformation, which is essentially encouraged by and large by people here thinking they can “debate win” these. ---

I don’t see any similarity between **turtlescanfly** and previously banned posters, but I’m pretty sure he’s a sock anyway. Jumps on the board, into the right forum, and posts right-wing facebook garbage? Well done, kicking this wasp nest. ---

As long as the subject line “Is Biden really flying in undocumented immigrants at night?” keeps getting bumped into the first “page” that’s a win for the OP. They know most viewers will never click into the thread to see more, and this little nugget will stay in the back of their mind. ---

👍 It’s standard that if there is a question in a thread title, especially a controversial or otherwise loaded one, that the subject be changed to include the answer. ---

Mild pitting, but **cannonkuo** has yet another OP about the Falklands War. > [@“conspicuous revolution” in the Commons](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conspicuous-revolution-in-the-commons/959812): > > I read the article: My Falklands War and Theirs by Jean J. Kirkpatrickthe, former US Permanent Rep. to the UN. In the article she noted "Labor government’s 1978 decision not to station a permanent task in the South Atlantic—in order to save 180 million pounds—and instead to explore a “leaseback” solution for the islands like that of Hong Kong. … The enthusiasm for a settlement waned in the Foreign Office and the Labor Party after the “conspicuous revolution” in the Commons. What does she mean… He’s mostly harmless, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one person start so many threads on such an obscure and non-controversial topic. ---

For some reason, Discourse seems to think the title of the thread is more important than the name of the poster when using quotes from other threads. ---
