In reply to the discussion: A Freeper Troll outs himself [View all]liberalhistorian
(20,897 posts)17. Well, you can be sure that there are also RW moles
quietly doing the same thing on here and other liberal sites, just like this OP and others here do on the RW sites; this is why I never automatically believe posters when they give anecdotes and things like that here. Some of them, like the liberals who do it, are really, really good and almost impossible to pick out until and unless they want to be outed. I talked to one of them on a RW site once asking how they did it without losing it, since they had as strong opinions on their side as we do on ours, and he told me that he "pulled a plug" and was able to not get emotional about it, to not get caught up in the emotions. I think people on both sides who are able to do that can be really good at moling.

I think that when you first post they are looking for certain traits that I cant seem to replicate.

I think JimBob is doing a parody himself and laughing all the way to the bank.

There's a word for people who can "pull a plug" and switch their emotions off . . .

This OP needs editing for clarity, to make clear that the troll was on another domain, not here.

The logic the Freepers use in that thread for *MORE* guns reminds me of a place I've visited...

I tried to do that for a while. If found it really difficult to pretend to be stupid all the time.
