A bloodied nose approval rating among liberal democrats has risen to nearly 100%

101. I walk away when I see where they are trying to take it.

Either that or play with them for a bit. Some are not as smart as they think they are. They come across as condescending to Liberals/Progressives and it shows. (Why are they allow to stay on a non-Right wing site in the first place?)
They use several known scripts to 'get to someone'. The most used is "misinterpreting" what was posted, with some off the wall, Black/white, either/or, made up fiction, as if those were the only two choices or one extreme must somehow follow the other. (It must be hell in their binary world, trying to make sense of things on a 'Liberal' web site.)
Sometime it is fun to string them along by quoting some of their own conflicting posts back to them. The 'smarter' ones can sometimes actually be easier to play with, as they can't defend against their own posts. Some just deny that was what they posted.
I learned during the META Wars not to let them get to me. Also, I stay out of the the 3 most contentious places around here and avoid their main mono-issue when it shows up in General Discussion or wherever. They are just daring anyone to disagree with them to fuel their outrage anyway. I noticed that one of the more high profile, in-your-face outragers came back after a vacation from DU this morning.

Oh, don't forget your Black list, to helps to keep you safe too.
