It seems that a good 10% of the OP's in GD are put out there with the intention of pitting us against each other. There are conspiracy theories, race baiting, and bashing of Democratic leaders creeping in with an intensity not seen since the presidential election.

Every time I think I spot one, I check their profile and confirm that their chance of serving on a jury is significantly lower than average. They are pretty transparent despite their persistence.
