That's OK. The key I've found to being able to tell the experienced sockpuppet troll from the naive clumsy newbie is how quickly they bring out the finely honed sockpuppet tools. Yanno - selective agreement and approval to try and separate people they think are 'aligned', attempting to derail an argument into an unrelated of-topic series of attacks and defenses with repeated ad hominems, repeated assertions with no facts or discussion, etc. I just think it's sometimes interesting to watch.





Me too that’s how I do it also. Like when I see two people have the same catch phrase like YANNO. Or when they both like to CAPATALIZE points the same way. Or when I see they always agree and even speak in the same fashion. Or when one reposts the others comments with little to no comments of their own. Or when one posts facts from all over the spectrum and then the other comes along to back them up by suggesting they are factual and pertinent, when they are not. I read many back posts by you guys. I’ll call you the sock puppet tag team.

An example. One will claim the United States bombed Japan and Germany; true, so you can suggest America bombs every country it engages so it can dominate them; crap. Then the other will come by and suggest the first presented facts. I don’t think so.

Well, if you'd been around a while, you'd realize that "yanno" is a word Frem brought to the board. So, am I Frem's sockpuppet, or is he mine? Also, Frem and Byte tend to come and go together... MORE sockpuppets! And since Chris seems to be pegged as KIKI's sockpuppet... and I've been pegged as RAPPY's... wow, clearly there is a mastermind here at work, someone who apparently has a whole boatload of time and energy and nothing else to do other than create a cast of characters!

Yanno what? I think you're the sockpuppet. And a troll.



Still... the fact remains that... the fact remains: Obama is a blowhard who sees our military as the solution to our (mostly military-created) problems. He and GWB remind me of Pinky and The Brain- always planning world domination.

I had visited this site as a guest before joining so I saw how some here maneuver. It is why I choose my name so carefully.

If you react to me as father time
I will respond to you in kind
If you stir within me the reaper
Into your soul I shall go deeper

If 1kiki is going to mirror what you say I will point it out. If others wish to negatively confront me because I have an opposing view from someone who has been here a long time, I will not waste time with them. I will call it for what it is and move on. I will taunt those who taunt and befriend those who are open to it. My identity on these threads is protected when they show up on the internet so I can say all that I wish. What you say to me will determine how I respond to you. I will not hold grudges but will show my distain for those who do.

What you and some others think of Obama means nothing to me. I think he has made many mistakes but some of you are coming from skewed inaccurate starting points when judging him.

Trolls come from a place of hate. I'd say that describes you better than me.

"Well, if you'd been around a while, you'd realize that "yanno" is a word Frem brought to the board."

Which I have to say I resisted using because it seemed somewhat clique-ish. But I succumbed because, yanno, it's just too handy.

It's your lack of facts and that you instantly turn every discussion into a personal grudgematch that I have issue with. But if that's your thing, by all means, feel free.

I don't think so and as time goes by I will confront your posting tag team style. It will show up so often it will be easy to do.


In stories, newspapers, and the spoken word, people all over the world are trying to convince you to think as they do. They are bombarding you with facts and figures, opinions and projections. It is up to you to create order within this chaos and find the patterns that will help you to understand what is true, what could be true, and what is outright false. In order to do all this, you need to have a firm grip on what is objective and what is subjective.

Every time you post subjectively(like this suggests) I will point it out.

Son, we haven't been in an officially declared war since WWII. The Korean 'War'? That was a police action. Vietnam? A 'conflict'. And yet we've somehow managed to get 100,000 troops killed in all that peacetime, and spent - what comes after trillions?

"I will confront your posting tag team style"

As opposed to discussing on-topic facts. So noted.

Indeed.

What you'll find, THGRRI, is that KIKI and I are sometimes on the board at the same time, and sometimes not. If we agree with each other, what point is it that you're trying to make by "confronting" that? Wouldn't you be better served by addressing the facts of a discussion, rather than the personalities involved? That is, if your REAL aim is to discern facts and truth from spin and fiction?

I think I've spent more than enough time responding to your off-topic posts.

And now, back to GWB and Obama... i.e Pinky and the Brain
