Why should I admit I am wrong?

There is a legion of wounded stalking ET members who have made it their job to tell me when they think I am wrong....

They want that job? I guess they do....

Quote from whitster:

while , from a tactical standpoint your post makes sense... personally, i prefer not wallow in excrement like a pig (the zzz.. philosophy)

iow, i refuse to lower myself to his level

while it might be effective, it would be too demeaning

i'll take the higher ground

i can respect many people on the left(even though i am not on the left) for their honesty, compassion, and legitimate concern for issues in general.

but i have little respect for silly trolls with a lack of intellectual honesty

for zzz... the ultimate sin is to admit he is wrong. a very common internet affliction

The ACLU had to do something about Limbaugh to save their declining credibility. They had no choice.

But this guyâs rights are threatened if he gets fired for expressing patriotism.

You liberals believe patriotism and the defense of American culture are forms of bigotry, and this madness has been established as policy.

Same crap going on in Europe:
âBanning Patriotism,â

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

The ACLU fought for Rush Limbaugh's rights, and no doubt they had to hold their nose and vomit while doing so....

The reason the ACLU doesn't generally defend bigots and racists, is their Constitutional rights have not been abridged in their practice of racism or bigotry.

Looks like you can spin anything any way you want.

No reason to argue with a spinner like yourself....

Speaking of being patriotic, in Nazi Germany, it was considered Patriotic to turn in Jews to be put in concentration camps.....

Iâm not spinning anything, Zbot. And you canât justify one extreme by pointing out itâs opposite. Throwing Jews into concentration camps as a form of national pride is extreme. Banning even the mildest forms of patriotism in schools, or firing people for it is also extreme. The latter is the problem today. It is happening everywhere and we are losing our country because of it. What good will come out of that?

believing in the constitution means believing in the rights of those that you DISAGREE with , to spew.

zzz clearly does not

that's the fundamental tenet of the 1st - protection of speech and expression of ideas, no matter how unopopular, hateful or misguided those ideas may be

Quote from Rearden Metal:

A team of dedicated troll zoologists has spent the past five years observing the troll in its natural habitat. Here are their findings:

Trolling 101:

If you happen to play poker, understand that professional trolls utilize a very similar strategy: Tight-aggressive

Tight: Don't give the victim an inch! Never admit the possibility of ever having been wrong. Never say anything which can be remotely useful or helpful to anyone. Never provide the prey with a single word he may wish to hear. Give nothing!

Aggressive: Focus! Your goal is not conversation or debate, but the exact opposite- nihilism. Mercy is merely a handicap of the weak. You are a disease with only one goal in mind: writing whatever it takes to piss off the victim. Contradict yourself all the time, repeat the victim's words verbatim like a bratty child, take the high road and repeatedly request that the victim stay on topic, post in every single thread and then accuse the victim of 'stalking' when he shows up in one of them, make ridiculous statements- but do it assertively and repeatedly, but most importantly:

Laugh when nothing is funny!
Laugh at the victim constantly, use smiley faces, and pretend to completely miss every single point he tries to make. Remember, looking like a complete idiot yourself is unavoidable if you wish to troll at the professional level.

Another key troll tactic is the practice of winning by losing. While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete idiot, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.

Another important trolling tip I learned by observing LoZZZer's work: The lioness does not indiscriminately launch an attack on every animal she wishes to eat. She stalks her prey, determining which specific individual antelope is weak, tired and slow. The expert troll must use this very approach, as not every post is worth trolling. ZTroll specifically waits for someone to discuss a topic which is of great personal importance to the prey. With an innate sense of unyielding discipline- a product of millions of years of painstaking troll evolution, ZTroll crouches in the brush, patiently waiting for an emotional, dedicated post. A post where the prey feels so strongly about a certain topic, he can't restrain his emotional enthusiasm when arguing his point. Any post of this sort in chit chat is guaranteed to spark a LoZZZer trolling effort. The predator will then deftly pounce upon its prey, pretending to laugh hysterically at the victim's strong willed, passionate assertions while distorting them in straw-man fashion. Eye on the prize, the creature will then tightly lock its fangs around the prey's neck, clinging tightly to the jugular while deftly wringing the life from its prey until the victim cracks- i.e., becomes highly frustrated and visibly redfaced. This in turn provides the troll with its well earned nourishment, as well as the creature's only source of sexual gratification: Furious anger and anguish. Thus, the circle of life continues.
