(11,076 posts)It's a ruthless bunch and a problem. If you could see the folks you were arguing with you wouldn't waste your breath. Pope gate, stripper dollars, he looked cross eyed at her during the debate, those are accusations made by reasonless people. It is genius because it is defenseless, especially if you have to be concerned about hides and such. There is no de powering it or stopping it. If Skinner is OK with this kind of activity then there is only so much we can do. IMO it would be better to have a standard response when the beast starts slinging feces. In the old days we used to just let it drop. When an OP is built for reaction just let it drop. I don't know that that is the answer here but something like that could work. I can't imagine trying to defend Bernie at every turn here. You must be exhausted.
After my hides and block I realized that you can't fight a fight that isn't built on reason. Take care!
