Not a modnote. But good advice I hope.
This is Miller’s forum.
You really think that? Because it’s my impression, based just on support in the US for various other fascist measures, that it’s probably higher than that.
I really don’t know any more. I really don’t. I suspect it might be higher than 30% in Texas, but under 10% in New Jersey.
Even Jersey is 40% Trump voters. You really think less than a quarter of those are virulently anti-immigrant? You’re more charitable than I’d be.
You could be right, but we’re really not a gun state. Overall we like our gun laws.
Holy shit, you guys, this thread has gone off the rails.
HAVE WE BECOME THE TROLLS?!
The trolling is coming from inside the board!
I think MrDibble and What_Exit are both very pretty and should get a room to talk to each other about their feelings.
This is always our problem when there are fewer people actively trolling by board definitions and we find ourselves hungry for new targets. However, there will always be another troll/trock coming.
Chances that the poster Jizzle _ 78 who joined 15 minutes ago and whose first post in GD is er… provocative is not a trock?
Extra leg muscle for specific “races” of human as statement of fact in GD? Yeaaaaah. Way to easy. Not taking that bet. And I’ve already flagged it, as I’m sure you have.
ETA - thread locked, and user suspended as I watched. Preparing for trip to cornfield!
I got curious about the origin and found this.
Either it’s been misunderstood or it’s been deliberately misrepresented.
And a previous thread from 2003.
Pretty dang low. That would be a bizarre initial post to a new community.
If it had been framed up as a discussion like in the OP referred to by @running_coach, even as a first post I might have let it spool out a little. But with that username and a one-line OP along with the 3 instantaneous flags, easy call.
That one troll lately has been creating names with numbers on the end.
Yeah, that post looks like a normal post, even with the subject. The actual post was just looking to piss people off.
They had me at “jizzle”
Now that’s a yucky thread.
There seems to be a 14-year old fresh poster, lacking either manners or awareness, and definitely unable to appraise the validity of their sources, who seems to think that a major Austronesian language is a Spanish-based creole. He also has some odd ideas about other languages. So far, he’s been posting in a kind of stream-of-consciousness manner and has racked up one (maybe two) warnings after joining on the fifth of this month. The trolling aspect, as I see it, is their inability to take correction. So they’re 14. Big deal. That’s no excuse. And the warning/noting moderators obviously see it that way.
The young 'un’s created topics wouldn’t be so bad if they were fleshed out more and had something other than social media and “what people say” as support.
