Every time I check in here, it seems that the winds of change pass by a fair amount of us. Why? Because nobody wants to see things progress, because while the world changes, Amateurs are content to nit-pick, making snide remarks along the way to thwart those who want to progress. Progression is a dirty word. It means I might have to change. Even think that there is a new possibility that might be the way things are done soon.
1) The Read My Lips Dude. This is the guy who says read between the lines. Then when you ask, so by this what you're saying is ____? His reply, "I never said that."
2) The Fence Straddler. This guy who wants to make a point but also wants to sit on the fence. Then if you try to get the gist of it, he pulls back and says your all wrong. Yep, this dude is real enigmatic.
3) The Projector. He waits until you say something then has the smart answer of "I know You are but what am I." We all know full well, he's operating out of a belief system that says, I'd do this, so that must be what you're doing.
4) The Sniper. He lets his friend bait the thread, trolling for a reaction. Then when someone answers, his friend has disappeared and he takes over. Must be some interesting e-mail between them.
5) The Accuser. He likes to point out all your problems, but never acknowleges his own. He quotes from the worst sources, but God help you if you try that one. You know better than that dontcha sonny?
6) Head them off at the pass. I've just done this, but I'm accusing you of doing it so you can't use the same tactic on me. I'll frustrate you until you give up. If he's married she's maso.
7) Cirular Logic. Make point A, they'll start on point B, make point B and they're off to point C, make point C and we're back to point A. Pointless.
8) The Clueless. They'll come up with every cliche they heard on their favorite radio show. If you manage to intelligently disprove that one, they'll just go to the next one, ad naseum. Don't try to convince them, you godless commie you.
9) Tit fer Tat. You say Coulter, They say Franken. They say Kennedy, You say Laura. Let's not forget Clinton/Bush, Carter/Reagan, etc. Really enlightening.
10) Spin Bots. If there's a story, it's not true, because the person was put in that position by a guy who was in office 8 years ago. If you point that out, it's just a political football and what's the difference they all lie. If you point out that the party in power is the controlling party, then it's the LIBERAL PRESS. Yep, the same one they quote when they agree with it.
11) You're wrong, I'm always right. If you make a point, you're just doing that because it agrees with you position. If you disagree it's only because you didn't like the results. Yep, they NEVER do anything like that. Must smell like roses when they leave the bathroom.
12) You're just miserable. They're always pointing out howe how miserable you are. Meanwhile, they're doing 8 hours of spin for free to bolster they're hero. Wonder what's going on downstairs? On the block they live on? In their city? They dunno, they do know you're miserable though. Riiiight.
13) Hey Dummy! Yep, you're STUPID. You're not getting it. You're not listening. My logic is crystal clear - dude, did your mom drop you on your head or something?
I'm certain you've seen these denizens of the troll patrol. I know them well and you're just wasting your time. They know everything and will pounce like a pack of rats on you if you try to intelligently discourse with them. They know better - so don't try.
Of course, with the polls (Liberal ones) the way they are, we'll see in November. Hope they're ready for that one.
This in no way is to cast a disparaging eye to those with legitimate experience or those who can intelligently talk point for point without name calling or any of the above. They have my respect no matter how big our differences and they should not presume to be described above.
Enjoy. Summer's here and the legs are starting to work. I'll be DXing from the great outdoors with a nice blue sky as my roof. Even saw one of those Roller-derby girls today. She's got a nice smile.
