kallend 2,026 #1 Posted November 27, 2020 44% of the threads on the first page of SC this morning are right wing rants started by the same person. He's been doing this for two weeks now. Seems to me that this fits the definition of spamming and trolling the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #2 November 27, 2020 (edited) Seems to me you've grown accustomed to living in your little left-wing bubble and can't stand the thought of sonic truth-bombs being thrown your way. I tolerate you... Edit to add: Wendy called me out, quite rightly, for trolling a few days ago. I apologized and promised not to do it again. Edit to add: However, I do respect the mods and they know that. Therefore I'll respect their call. Edited November 27, 2020 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have just started your own useless thread to complain about useless threads. It will also quickly disappear. Is being annoying the same as trolling? I'm asking because although there have been several annoying threads started I'm not really sure it is the same as trolling. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as they are discussed, and not just lobbed, and a source of giant picture memes being exchanged, then stuff we disagree with is just as welcome as stuff we agree with. And Gowlerk and Ryoder are absolutely right -- the ignore function and time are powerful here. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine this is how Parler must look. Outrage of the day mixed with everyone talking about the same misinformation, b.s., lies, racism, misogyny, and absence of facts. Its just too bad that trump supporters with a brain can't express views with logic and facts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they're not truth bombs. They're just a torrent of insult and awfulness from someone who is clearly just throwing a Trump-like tantrum because you can't deal with Trump losing. I don't really get what's in it for you though. You're like one of those town centre "the end is nigh" sandwich board people walking around and shouting at people, except your sandwich board reads "I'm a terrible person". Why? Why do you want us to think that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conservatives have a stronger physiological response to threats. 3. Conservatives fear new experiences. 4. Conservatives’ brains are more reactive to fear.

Reading Ron can be amusing in the same way scratching head lice can be relieving. Mark is anything but funny. It is interesting that airdvr has been on trumpbattical whilst the candidate he claimed to know who he is and who he isn't has been reacting to his obvious crushing loss by shredding the constitution, destroying faith in our electoral system, further radicalizing an already rabid base by spreading nonsense conspiracy theories, scamming the foolish out of multiple millions of dollars for his phony defense fund, ignoring the pain and suffering of anyone without a stock portfolio and, just to further baffle the already baffled, no longer dying his hair baby shit yellow. Tough day's to be a Trumpie, I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
