I didn't look at it that way.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking more along the lines of insults that cannot be attacked except as being insults.<BR/><BR/>Or simply tell them they are arguing in bad faith. Then laugh at them.<BR/><BR/>You're right about not wasting time on them. Don't give them the ammo "we refuse to talk with them at all", instead they are left with "we refuse to carry on when they are arguing in bad faith" which is most of the time. Or "we call them names. Waaa". or leave them blubbering that "we made fun of them. Waaaa". But if they can't say "he told me to fuck off", they're left with "he told me I have no idea what I'm talking about and he won't stay and keep rehashing my silly talking points".<BR/><BR/>They're all about keeping up appearances, right? They need to be able to point at something to claim they must be right. I just force them into something where they will have to try to change the channel, then refuse to let them change it. They either go away or send the swearing trolls "we have to let them speak, freedom and all, but I wouldn't word it like them..."<BR/><BR/>My favourite example? In the abortion debates, if suzanne shows up, I always ask why suzanne has never answered whether she supports or condones doctor murder. I have yet to see her stick around on any thread where I have demanded an answer. Try to change the channel? I just keep asking the same thing. Not repeatedly, but every time she shows up again. She goes away every time.liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-89837719669826400572008-02-20T13:23:00.000-05:002008-02-20T13:23:00.000-05:00"splooge" and "pants wetting video" are my 2 top h..."splooge" and "pants wetting video" are my 2 top hit draws.Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343974714241810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-38275586481858750942008-02-20T13:16:00.000-05:002008-02-20T13:16:00.000-05:00I should never look at the top referrers to my blo...I should never look at the top referrers to my blog...<BR/><BR/>"White women having sex" appears to be a leading google search. <BR/><BR/>Thats just f'ing great.<BR/><BR/>Only 3 hits from your front page, CC, so no big bump from there...<BR/><BR/>I wish I knew what was drawing in larger numbers...Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349980798171765303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-21740124420371371162008-02-20T13:14:00.000-05:002008-02-20T13:14:00.000-05:00Lulu: "...Are you nude, crabby?"Uh...

They have staked out a position - without the aid of reason - and invested ego into it. The reason they're ardent right-wingers (not to be mistaken with people who just buy into the TV ads) is because they have the kind of inflexible mind that enjoys the certainty of authoritarianism. Doubt is their enemy, so they entertain none. <BR/><BR/>I think my point is that it's like arguing with an intellectually stunted brick wall. You're never going to win, and they'll just bog you down with their stupidity until you give up in exasperation. <BR/><BR/>The crime is that they will never even know how stupid they are, since they lack the ability to doubt and, thus, to self-reflect. I've given up fighting comment wars with the 43rd fighting keyboardists for this reason.<BR/><BR/>But do keep their names in mind when we're building a ship to launch all the telephone sanitizers into space.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660232353701098976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-60860750558448446052008-02-20T11:27:00.000-05:002008-02-20T11:27:00.000-05:00What is "43rd"?focused on my profane languageThat ...What is "43rd"?<BR/><BR/><I>focused on my profane language</I><BR/>That is the thing we should work on.

Then of course, they delete all the bait!<BR/><BR/><I>You won't win this unless you can force them into revealing themselves to their minions as the dishonest hacks that they really are.</I><BR/>Hence trying to avoid swearing.<BR/><BR/>Note how they have made "liberal" or "left" into practically a swear word. <BR/><BR/>We need non swear words to refer to them. You can't even refer to "conservatards" since it gives a channel changing opportunity to open the sneering "political correctness" debate. <BR/><BR/>I've liked "fascist" to refer to them, but they typically come up with accusations of trivializing the Holocaust(!). But they must have gotten worried because lately we see the doublespeak conflating fascism with socialism. Even Hitler was apparently a "socialist". We used to understand that the "German Democratic Republic" was East Germany and was not in fact a democracy at all, but now it seems National Socialism must really have been socialism.<BR/><BR/>We need better turns of phrase to insult and at the same time give no openings.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am reminded of an old Star Trek, where some of the crew swapped with their evil counterparts (where Spock had a beard). They managed to get back, and they wondered what happened with the evil versions on the "real" ship. It seemed the good guys could pretend to be bad, but the bad guys could no fake being anything but what they were.<BR/><BR/>So it is for us. We can easily clean up our language, but they can't grow brains, or hearts.liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-60418695203720570852008-02-20T10:44:00.000-05:002008-02-20T10:44:00.000-05:00I've been in the same discussion at 43rd lately, t...I've been in the same discussion at 43rd lately, these idiots are, at the very base level, liars and cowards. <BR/><BR/>I've challenged them with public debates, web debates, anything I can think of and the responses I get are inherently illogical and full of fallacies. <BR/><BR/>Recently I got into it with my local wingnut idiot about an issue pertaining to coercion cases in regards to abortion.
