You’re doing the broken record repeating thing again.

By the way, I just noticed you went through and edited almost all of your old comments in this thread. How come? Like, you changed “ewww” to “yuck” a minute ago. What’s that all about?

edit: Reviewing a number of your other conversations, you do always get the last word, don’t you? I’m going to theorize that by always getting the last word, it helps you emotionally feel like you win all of your little battles regardless of the actual rational outcome.

Why ewww? What else should I be doing while I wait for some caffeine to wear off so I can get some sleep? And besides, there’s actually some interesting things about this.

So, uh, I guess you’re just going to keep helping me then? lol Anyways though, I find it absolutely hilarious you screenshotted that like its some sort of evidence of foul play or something.

Uh, yeah, sure. There’s nothing wrong with super long comment chains though. But what about yours? That’s what I’m curious about

Okay, but “true intentions” makes it seem like something nefarious is happening instead of fairly typical internet silliness. Anyways, only other thing I can think of is that you actually are just doing the last word thing. Are you?

… my true intentions? I’m not sure what’s so bad about just doing something silly. Something has to worry you, I doubt you’re just doing the “must have last word” thing. Aren’t you like 55 or something?

Sure. But I can still ponder and theorize. You’re very chatty, after all. While you seem to have no problems just making stuff up whenever convenient, it makes no sense that you’d bother with me in that case.

Perhaps you just like the comment count on the post to be as high as possible? I admit that’s partially what I’m going for.

Huh, that’s interesting. Now why would someone engage in conversation with me at all if they took nothing I say seriously?

You just keep repeating yourself like a broken record. Once again, of course you don’t have to. I’m just offering ideas in case anyone had a thought.

Once again, of course you don’t have too. So long as we recognize it means you have no basis for your opinions. Perhaps its faith-based?

Oh, but it is your problem. Not having sound reasoning means one is just making things up.

It’s not belief, it’s reasoning. If there was a sound explanation, you would lose nothing by offering it. Since you cannot, there isn’t one.

No, you don’t. It does however fully demonstrate you have no real reasoning though, veiled behind the flimsiest excuse.

Frankly, your lack of ability to provide any reasoning for your opinions demonstrates you’re basing them on fabrication.

Again, you keep bringing voting into this for no reason. I haven’t brought voting up once. This is deflection, and will not work on me.

Oh no, it absolutely has to do with you. As I’ve pointed out several times, you seem to be willing to make up random shit whenever you feel like it. This is a big part of why you draw so much more heat than all the other socialists, who generally do not manufacture random persecution complex stuff to deflect from not having any ability to defend their positions.

Once again, I’m not asking you to vote for someone. The only one that keeps bringing up voting is you. I’m discussing trolling behaviors and logic on the internet, and how that pertains to our community these days.

But you did respond when I offered mine. It makes complete sense that you cannot explain your opinions, what could you say that wouldn’t admit to blatant trolling, after all. If you can’t back them up with logic though, that speaks plenty loudly on its own.

I did not ask you what you thought. I asked you what other purpose that question could have possibly served? This is not an opinion question, it’s a theoretical possibilities question. What is or is not possible is not really an opinion thing, it’s a logic thing.

What other purpose could the question have served, if not to imply that I am trying to dictate beliefs to you?

What makes trolls so difficult to stamp out is they enjoy the process. You used to be able to starve them by depriving them of interaction, but after qanon demonstrated that internet trolling can have real-world effects, that method stopped working. Now it’s a combination of fun and political activism. Where fun leaves off as a motivation, the activism takes over and vice-versa. The combo can reasonably make one extremely prolific, just like how somebody can spend a whole day playing a video game they really like.

The only way to truly combat them at the community level nowadays is to embrace your inner teenager and approach them with the exact same duo of motivations. Since I’m also engaging in an entertaining process, while hopefully providing some education on trolling techniques and critical thinking, I can match his enthusiasm to the extent that real life allows me.

The rest is just checking your phone for notifications regularly, which I do anyway. lol
