Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Are you sure they were Democrats calling you up? How do you know?- CC They identified themselves as DNC or DCCC pollsters and were accepting donations at DNC and DCCC addresses. The surveys had DNC and DCCC return addresses, postage paid. Either there is someone committing wire fraud/ postal fraud, or they are legitimate organizations. - SIGNY It's like fake social media accounts that seem human. We should all be outraged by this - where's your indignation
Quote: these foreign influences??

Libel isn't. Libel costs you time, effort, and money. I wonder how many websites you've already been thrown off of. Your posting history suggest you can't stop being a troll. It's in the very core of your being.

Quote:The following post is more for the record since I know SIGNYM will just deny and deflect as usual. Hey SIGI: get over it again for the 35th time. Your posting history suggests even to a mollusk that you and KIKI are pro Russia.

Quote: I don't deny the logic, but you're pretending that nobody else has access to Twitter and nobody else knows how to manipulate it. There's only one good response to the problem of media-manipulation (because it comes from all directions on all different channels) and that is to listen to multiple sources, focus on the facts, and try to understand the big picture.- SIGNY Guess you forgot my original posts to you and KIKI that if we do it you know that Russia does it.
Quote: Maybe there's a clue in there why I don't think you are genuinely interested in honest discussion?- CC
Quote: Big Picture: Russia used social media to manipulate voters to believe a multitude of negative untruths about Hillary
Quote: and false positives about Trump to influence the election.
Quote:No, I'm not "butthurt" about Hillary losing, I'm pissed off that no one seems to be doing anything about past and current Russian social media influences.
Quote:You've been nothing but a troll since I started reading your posts, you attack people instead of focusing on issues, and you justify your bad behavior (and the bad behavior of others) with the same rationalizations as any bully. So yeah, you're toxic. And a troll. - SIGNY You've been nothing but a troll since I started reading your posts, you attack people instead of focusing on issues, and you justify your bad behavior (and the bad behavior of others) with the same rationalizations as any bully. So yeah, SIGNYM, you're toxic. And a troll. At least I've never posted images of child corpses.- CC
Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Are you denying that this person exists and posted a video? Are you denying that leftwing hate groups have been formed? That people have walked away from the Democratic party? How is this (#walkaway) "false" info? - SIGNY Because it's being promoted by Russian bots
Quote:giving false impressions.- CC
Quote:It's gotta be tricky being pro Putin.
Quote:You have to swallow your intelligence to back Trump for the ultimate goal of supporting Putin - your pride must be taking a beating.- CC This is why you're being tagged as a troll.- SIGNY Geez, I was being sympathetic! - CC
Quote:Besides, you "tag" everyone who disagrees with you as a troll.- CC
Quote:PLUS - You are being tagged as a Troll for posting images of mutilated child corpses. - C
Quote: THIS from the guy who just assigned "pro Putin" motivations to me? God, you're such a troll. - SIGNY Funniest thing posted this year. - CC
Quote:You mentioned "false info" a couple of times, and you've never been able to show that it was "false". - SIGNY Here's a primer - note "astro turf" at the end - that's the promotion of false info. BTW - this is information every AMERICAN - no matter who you vote for - should know and understand, including everyone here. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/spot-russian-bot-social-media/ Bots vs. Shills Let’s start by differentiating bots and shills. Bot: A bot is a fake social media account under the control of an organization or government seeking to influence the online community. For instance, a Twitter bot set to retweet certain hashtags and phrases in such volumes that it amplifies the specific topic. Another example is Reddit bots downvoting views disagreeing with the bot controller opinion (while upvoting those that do agree). Bots require volume for success on certain platforms, while at other times only a few can begin to shape the direction of a conversation.
Quote: Shill: A shill is different. Shills are real people actively engaging in the shaping of online (in this instance) discussion and opinion—while receiving payment in exchange for their presence. Shills promote companies, governments, public figures, and much more, for personal profit, essentially engaging in propaganda.
Quote: Depending on the organization or government, shills can work in conjunction with large bot networks to create intense vocal online movements. And while the combined efforts of shills and bots shape online opinion, these efforts are increasingly affecting more than just social media users.
Quote: The practice is also known as astroturfing, whereby organizations [such as Chambers of Commerce, specific industry, lobby, or interest groups] and governments curate the conversation through “regular” members of the public.
Quote:This is such a crock. Maybe your real problem is that you just can't believe that 63 million Americans might have had one or two legitimate reasons to vote for Trump/ against Hillary. - SIGNY Of course you missed or choose to ignore my post on that very subject. Do you read anyone's posts besides your own?- CC
Quote:Are you SO CORRECT and SO RIGHTEOUS that it justifies despising half of the American voting population as Nazis or Russian dupes? I think you might want to go back and examine where you went wrong in your understanding of your fellow Americans, and maybe feel a little more respect when you do it.- SIGNY You've misattributed again - or just lying or both. You're such a Troll - CC
Quote:If you want to do something BESIDES living in a state of denial, how about pushing the DNC and the DCCC to start actually representing Americans as a whole, not just a pastiche of presumed-victim-subgroups. Being a registered Democrat, I get a lot of questionnaires and phone calls, and I let them know every time where I think they fucked up, and how I think they should be doing better. I don't want anyone to be able to say, later ...Well, we just didn't know . I make liberal use of the "other" option, because the DNC's/ DCCC's extremely biased questions show me that they still haven't learned to listen. So every pollster and every tabulator is going to know exactly how I feel, regardless of how they try to "push-poll" me. - SIGNY Are you sure they were Democrats calling you up? How do you know? It's like fake social media accounts that seem human. We should all be outraged by this - where's your indignation at these foreign influences??

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: CC, here's your problem, right here, I even underlined it for you the first time: Quote:It's like fake social media accounts that seem human. We should all be outraged by this - where's your indignation You're assuming that I'm NOT indignant. Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. I haven't said either way, but you've just ascribed a POV to me for which you have no evidence. It would be better to respond to people's statements, and not to what you imagine they're feeling or thinking (or not feeling, or thinking).

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Quote: Are there rules about posting I'm unaware of? There's common etiquette on message boards that you don't continue to edit your post after other people have posted. Especially on an old board like this that doesn't indicate when the post was edited. I wouldn't expect somebody who was raised by wolves to understand this concept though, so I'll just continue to quote you. Do Right, Be Right. :)
