The only way to deal with those two passive aggressive trolls is to repeatedly stomp on their balls. and show them the contempt their disengenuous bullshit deserves.

They are not here to debate, or exchange ideas, or enlighten, but rather only to annoy.

No, that doesn't deal with them at all, Banks. This is what I have been trying to explain to you (among others) all the way along.

It has no significant impact on them whatsoever, whether they put somebody on ignore or not. And it isn't like he doesn't look at posts on ignore much of the time, anyway.

Kid has been quite clear that he only posts much of the time to be annoying. He is not the only one who has stated that as a primary goal.

If it were my board, not Liq's, they'd be gone long since, because they are, as you said, not here to add anything.

She would not be HONORED by a woman who would roll back women's rights.


How so, specifically?  Explain how this could occur.

Kid is vying for Ward's Elba Sea Lion title.

You Bidenites outnumber us about ten to 1 on this board.  It's scary that you still could use some recruitment to get your act up to snuff.

You are into snuff, Kid.

Your arithmetic is pretty bizarre.

But while we do outnumber you, your inanity is sufficiently extreme that you make the discussion here often too absurd for words.

You, in particular, manage to do it even with simple calculations. "No, I had 13 wins!" when you had 12, for example.

Josh-you take them seriously. I don't. You see it as either cathartic or you think that trying to deal with them as reasonable actors you can change their behavior.

You won't.

they are not here to debate, but to troll and annoy.

So you can engage them in hours of discussion, but its a massive waste of time.

I'd rather identify a piece of shit, yell at the guy who left the shit here, remind him he's an anti-social piece of shit, and assume that poor behavior will be repeated, as I've little remedy to change their poor behavior.

as you saw earlier today I shamed Elba's village idiot to run away in shame when caught in his lie.

IMO there is some value to that.

YMMV

And you're certainly free to reach out to kid and Red and spend endless hours trying to modify and correct their poor behavior.

Also speak out against people who peddle falsehoods about Justice Ginsburg and her deathbed wishes.
What were her deathbed wishes according to you?

During the heat of the primary season Elizabeth Warren railed against the rich backing candidates:
We don’t need Billionaires picking the next President!  Harumph,harumph,!

September 21, 2020, Michael Bloomberg to invest $100 Million to win Florida for democrats.
Elizabeth Warren?  Crickets

Last week I had the wins right - and the losses wrong.  If I was trying to cheat I think I'd have added a win

This week I had SEVEN wins in NFL picks vs spread.  Bank counted wrong - and won't re-check his work.  His impoliteness then immediately took over.  His has apparently been a rough life - and he thus lashes out quickly.  But his right to use this space equals mine.

Is what it is.  Thanks for your time and patience.

I don't expect to change their behavior.

I don't find it cathartic.

That's why they'd be gone. They are just trolls.

Re:  football picks

I am sure now that they have been shown their error in the other forum, one of Josh/Bank will post their revision here - .

I ask for no apology.  We move on.  Perfection is boring as hell anyway, Bank.  And life - you guessed it - its own reward (read:  lighten up on needing to correct people)
