Talk me down, peeps.

Am I drinking too much haterade?

1. I wouldn't think of it.

In fact, I threw a little gas on the conflagration.

2. ^_^

We like it hot here, lol.

3. No you definitely are not.

There are a couple posters in R/T who have a well-documented history of downplaying anything related to the a certain denomination's knack for employing and protecting serial rapists.

The most you can hope to do is not get too out of sorts and calmly expose them for what they are.

5. Yep. The same posters who constantly...

...hijack threads off into irrelevant, eye-watering minutiae about writer qualifications, anal-retentive terminology parsing, and general nit-picking to get everyone off the topic. In this case, child-raping priests and subsequent cover-up by the One Twue Crutch Church.

I will say that I haven't seen a Certain Russian Political Leader invoked for a while. Maybe the John Birch website finally ran dry of material.

4. Let's start an embargo on those two.

It's clear that they aren't actually trying to discuss anything, as certain useful pieces of DU history will attest.

It's all pedantic, semantic bullshit. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, so to speak. :)

6. I disagree.

Let them continue to make complete asses of themselves. It only hurts their image.

[sudopod]

7. Fair enough!

But it feels like an awful waste of time. I guess I'm hoping they'd go away if no one rose to their bait, since they rarely have anything substantive to say, though they'll post articles.

8. It's a trade-off.

(And at least half of them regularly read this group.)

When their need to stir shit up isn't satiated in subthreads, they start their own threads to do it, each one pushing just a little bit farther into overt flamebait.

9. No, you're drinking too little, but that's because of DU rules so it's forgivable.

10. Look at who you are dealing with!

And no, you are not drinking to much. Just be careful, we don't seem to get the same amount of leeway....
