Most of the things he says are not out of the mainstream of leftwing thought, but he refuses to engage in dialog, preferring dodges and taunts, nonsequitors and irrelevancies. He loves the cheap shot and is perfectly happy twisting facts to suit his needs. Further, he ignores questions that are hard for him to answer, never granting that someone raised a valid point. <br /><br />So i guess i'm not really of mixed views. garage is a troll.<br />tim maguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717622436074043099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-29620322891197428552014-10-07T16:39:47.125-05:002014-10-07T16:39:47.125-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.tim maguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717622436074043099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-36730853191360296782014-10-07T15:57:09.440-05:002014-10-07T15:57:09.440-05:00The rise of sociopathic behaviors on the internet ...The rise of sociopathic behaviors on the internet correlates with the ongoing development of the Vagina as Fascist State. As women gather more political power, often under the guise of privacy rights, their frequent inability to competently and publicly handle these advancements requires, by necessity, a lessening of their societal consequences. <br /><br />Many women are simply unaware of the training wheels and safety nets society now provides for them; for others, the awareness causes a cognitive dissonance that functions similarly to paranoia and anxiety. The former do not function as trolls, per se: their lack of self-awareness blinds them to faults in their internet content, yet the enfeebled results of such are not an act. As such, it is important to note that annoying behaviors are not, singularly, signs of sociopathic tendencies -- often, they are simply examples of the tunnel-vision inherent in the Vagina as Fascist State.<br /><br />The latter grouping -- the self-aware women of questionable competency -- is not, by itself, necessarily sociopathic, either. However, many belonging to this group DO lash out as means to distract themselves from their shortcomings. Since they often do not have a core understanding of who they really are, they can easily adopt contradictory viewpoints, and possess an erratic fluidity of identity: if you can tell yourself that the baby inside you is not really a baby, after all, then you can believe everyone else on the internet is self-delusional, too, and act out from this perception.<br /><br />Interestingly, many men fall into this latter category: they buy into women's self-deception as a way of signaling the act of belonging to the society -- they have accepted the Vagina as Fascist State, and will defend their self-awareness of their capitulation accordingly. As such, on the internet they often lash out at other men from whom they sense danger to their social , while being safe in relative anonymity.<br /><br />Finally, there are men who are aware of the Vagina as Fascist State and reject many of its premises: ironically, they are often the ones the previous groups would label as trolls. Of course, one of the premises rejected is the casual acceptance of abortion. If a woman can abort a man's offspring with no shame or remorse than there is no shame to be found in realizing most women on the internet are only approximately one-hundred dollars away from giving a stranger a blow-job, with internet communication continuing from this understanding.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-51596554377716546302014-10-07T15:53:34.759-05:002014-10-07T15:53:34.759-05:00Michael said...

And she works hard for it and I am glad to make purchases through her link to encourage her to continue the very real effort it takes to create this venue and to police it. I gather she does a great deal of policing behind the scenes including sending some commenters to the woodshed or worse. <br /><br />And in your example I do not think a professional musician sneers at the man taking his business across the street. <br /><br />You never know if the former customer was on the verge of buying 100 new MacBook Pro 15 inch computers via her link.
