There are lots of people here folks don't agree with but they just hold a different opinion, they will partake in decent discussions (generally) without getting bent out of shape.
But among the group being described and others not specifically named here it seems to me we have three different categories of folks.
1. Paid agents - from what I can see we definitely have a couple of those, posting here only to sow dissension. They are propagandists repeating lies over and over, their sole purpose is to weaken resolve - "the Statue of Liberty is kaput! The Statue of Liberty is kaput!". They're like phone solicitors, they don't really believe their own message but get paid to pass it along anyway.
Arguing with them is a waste of time since they're only passing along what they're told to.
2. Classic trolls - these are the ones who think it's the funniest thing in the world to post "shocking" stuff, they live to tweak other peoples noses. Their psychological motivation ranges all over the board, from the classic snot nosed kid (juvenile minds that could be 14 to 40 years old) in his mother's basement to those desperate for attention.
Arguing with them is a waste of time. They are the ones that the saying "don't feed the trolls" is aimed at. The nose tweakers like it when people react angrily, that's the reaction they're hoping for. The attention seekers love to be abused, they go to hookers to get pissed on for sexual pleasure so cussing them only makes them moan in pleasure.
3. Defeatists - "normal" people who quit in the 4th quarter because the other team is 10 points ahead. They are the losers in life anyway.
Arguing with them is a waste of time, they have already defeated themselves.
1) RGinther, Stevil (worth laughing at)
2) northwestalaska, Greyghost (ignore them)
3) dvdgeorge, ltppowell (WTF?)
