Many posters in the political forum...are in fact Trolls.
They have no concept of, nor have obviously ever done, actual 'debating' and simply want to stand on their soapboxes, bloviating, acting superior and spreading lies without ever bothering to back those lies with a link (even if it's from a biased op-ed) and expect others to believe them...
just because they are the ones who said it.
The ultimate in arrogance IMHO.
When those few of us actually provide the basis of our viewpoint with links, the usual suspects come out and in a few sentences...try to personally deride, denigrate and are told we're being
'too wordy.'
As if the important and complicated issues facing us in these trying times...can actually be crammed into 140 characters or less.
It's always much easier to attack the poster, especially those who put effort into presenting their viewpoint/opinion by providing proof...than to spend a modicum of effort trying to refute those views with some type of factual support.
In Taltarzac's case, there are a handful that constantly exhibit their need to bully him on a personal scale...that 5th graders would even find cruel.
And then there are those that will just stand on the sidelines while this occurs, solely because they happen to share the politics of these bullies...and are loathe to criticize them.
Extremely sad...when one thinks about it.
