27. Stop!
Breathe, *then* post. It usually works for me, ymmv. :D

We get a lot of different types of posters around here. Some have the stench of mole or troll about them. If I have a way to prove they are one of those, I'll alert. Otherwise I avoid 'feeding' them. Then we have a segment which appears to just like 'stirring the shit' just to watch chaos ensue (I have 4 uncles and a brother who like to push someone's buttons just for 'shits and grins'). I don't 'feed' them either. But we don't all, unfortunately, have perfect BS meters when reading a post. Mine fails me more than I like.

I think we're experiencing more, for lack of a better word, infiltration these days due to the fact that injured animals start flailing at anything and everything and I can think of no more injured animal than the 'backwash'. When they were 'in power' they were too busy patting themselves on the back for showing those 'damned, traitorous liberals' what it was to be a 'true American' and gloating, amongst themselves, that see, we really do speak for 'American values.' The recent election of a Democratic majority has shown them they are not 'all powerful' and that their message doesn't resonate with 'mainstream' Americans; that they *do not* speak for all America. Ouch! That's gotta hurt. Injury, pain then flail.

So, like all bullies who are confronted, they're looking for easy prey. Hell, what's easier than getting an account on a message board on the internet and typing anonymously until your fingers bleed. Especially if you take into account that they consider anyone who doesn't display their same type of 'gung ho,' 'rambo-like,' faux, tough 'patriot' as 'weak' and therefore, a potential victim, that is, easy prey.

As to the liberals who don't agree with me. Well, dammit! I'm just gonna have to educate 'em!


:rofl:
