I note from one of drmiler's threads (originally confused/mixed up via dsylexia, whatever, with Dr.Guy) that there are many that claim to be unable to control themselves when it comes to laying off responses for the resident automaton, he who shall remain nameless except in vieled references to clueless, and old, and definitely too liberal to be called a moderate as he keeps trying to claim, and finally most certainly a RINO (Republican in Name Only) as only the absolute finest of such could be (right up there with Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, John McCain, and several others that would jump to the Democrats in a second if they thought they could get a little more in their campaign coffers for doing so).
Like clockwork, the automaton posts a baseless rant, one which the world can see is completely without merit, completely without proof, and which is just repeat number 465 of what seems to be an infinite cycle of the same repeated rants on the same old tired topics, and yet there are those among us that just can't resist spittin' into the wind, tiltin' at the clueless old windbag, I mean windmill, only to find that no amount of discussion will ever change the mind of the clueless one.
If it were but one or two individuals, it would perhaps be entertaining, but it is many. The resident automaton troll is like the proverbial tar-baby. You touch it, and you can't break free. It's like a powerful magnet, drawing in conservatives to try to sap them of their energy and enthusiasm, distracting them from the good news that is out there by claiming that there is just too much wrong in the country, too much that is all the fault of the epitome of evil (in the troll's mind), one George W. Bush.
Well brothers and sisters, I'm here to help you all heal. Maybe not a 12 step program, as some call those programs into question. But still, a program that can help you.
We're going to form a society of Joe and Jill Users. We won't discriminate so we won't run afoul of those that dislike organizations like the ones the Democrats wanted to use for lynching Samuel Alito. In fact, we'll even be better than Teddy "I think I will have another drink" Kennedy and our fellowship will even be sure to include brutha's and sista's even when the Republican base is reportedly just a bunch of rich old white guys that are all friends of Dick Cheney and his Haliburton buddies (and Condi Rice don't count, as we all know she's a token in exchange for Bryant Gumbel or perhaps Larry Bird, so she's really not "of color").
Yes people, you can be healed. You can walk away from the strong magnetic fields. You don't have to remain Lost as if you crashed on an island and then spent time trying to avoid the supernatural and the others. You can be saved. You can survive. You don't have to respond to the trolling threads. You can let them whither on the vine. You can earn your own points, start your own threads. Create a new article refuting the bogus claims, and do your arguing there. Let the original article disappear or get aged off the forum lists very quickly as your reply in your own article, or as others join you there.
Make the troll come to you. He's shy, true, but he does occasionally come out of his spider hole, I mean rats nest, oh heck, whatever type of top-secret hideout he/she/it would hide in to avoid being spied upon by (troll's words/thoughts here, not mine) "he who should be impeached."
Yes, like I said, you can be healed. The first step, as many of you all have done, is to admit you have the problem.
The second step is to find and make use of your trolling button/votes for the misguided materials that you see and start to get steamed about.
The next step is reply elsewhere. Find someone else that is rebutting the argument and add to their thread or just click the "Create New Article" button, or "New Post" button in the forums. Let the original rot in internet hell as it should.
Don't worry that some might see the content without reply and think it must be true. There are those that think that everything they see on the net is the truth, even when much is urban legend, or unjustified and unproven mythology.
Those that want truth will seek out your threads, they will reply in your threads, and you will move up the Joe User ranks as someone else slides back down into the abyss that they belong in.
Let the good people heal you. Parated2k has some powerful ju-ju and mojo. Bakerstreet too. Dr.Guy and drmiler. Singrdave. Littlewhip and many others. They are your support group. Learn from them. Avoid taking the bait from the troll. ((bad cajun voice imitation from silly Waterboy movie "on")) "You can do it! ((bad cajun voice off))
We can heal you here in the church of non-trollism. Send your contributions down the aisle, we'll take them to send you off to the next friends of the Republicans gathering once we hit the $5,000,000.00 mark so we can buy some more influence. Between us all, it won't take long, as we steal from the poor to give ourselves more and bigger tax-cuts that we don't need because we just aren't working hard enough to pay our fair shares. Just take that first step. Don't worry if we all start doing it and we seem to be moving in lock step. That's just that beginning of the indoctrination back into the party of Bush. Some might even try to say we'd be goose-stepping just like the little, well, you know what they claim we are.....
Come on down. Let me lay hands upon you and help you heal yourself. As I lay just enough weight in your pockets to make you start leaning right, you'll come back to fair and balanced, and we'll all be all right. It only takes one, so come on down!"
