6. I used to do it over at FR

Then I'd slip in some some innocent sounding rebuttal with a couple of sound facts. You know you stuck a chord when no one responds. They will ignore that which they know is true but they don't like.

it's really easy. It's easy to do it here too. There's always a meme. Learn the meme and you can fit right in. Right wingers also do it here all the time. You can spot them fairly easily here too. Read some of the instructions they give to their trolls on how to fit in and you'll see they follow it to the letter. In fact they will overdo it which makes some very easy to spot. Anyone that starts a post with "I've been a liberal all my life but..." then goes into a slant on a right wing meme is highly suspect. They are taught to establish their "liberal" credentials.

I read somewhere once that they were taught if they're here to run up their post count by posting a lot of simple posts like "LOL!" and other quick things to make theirselves appear to be established. There are other techniques they're taught. But eventually they get tombstoned.

I quit doing it over at FR because it's no fun anymore. It's no fun because RimJob has run off everyone that had any intelligence above that of a toad. There used to be some lively discussions there with the sane arguing with the insane and not understanding they are arguing with the insane. Over time, all the sane ones got banned.

I think that conservatives are as incapable of thinking like liberals.. Fumesucker Dec 2011 #1
