Why don't we try and ignore him, eh? I know its fun playing with stupid people, but he's loving it.
He's an attention starved little boy and maybe if we ignore him he'll go away.

Agreed but saying all that he does provide hours of entertainment!
This person is going out of his way to act a troll as i and others also witnessed last night.
I think blagstas well within his rights to inform people that might not know about him.
Though I'd rather prefer a resident bigot to a troll, but the former position seems to be vacant again.
Who died and made you moderator? If the mods have a problem with this post I'm sure they'll delete it and PM me about it.
Anyway, you're a fine one to talk about rules of this forum. You never read rule number 2? Shall I quote it for you?
I heartily endorse this event and/or product
Of course, there's always the Mil.com approach... Appoint (or just elect yourself) a 'Troll hunter extraordinaire', and encourage posters to run around like headless chickens, crying for the mods whenever some new poster reveals a sliver of independent thought
Edited to correct an atrocious spelling error
He has brought some topics to the board though and it has been fun to watch
:yes: And I agree with most of his opinions, although the sources he quotes are very dubious indeed.
i hope you all realise he is but a child.
It's not the opinion he asserts, but the way he asserts it and it does appear as if he's trying to annoy people sometimes. You can have an opinion but you should back it up and not tell somebody that they're poorly educated if they do not agree.
The fact is that he didn't back up his facts, the other person knew what they were talking about and that's what he said. If you write an opinion then you back it up. Hence this is for debate, not arguements.
But, to term him a 'moderate conservative' if he's moderate I dred to think what the extreme is, have you read his posts about drug users?
I haven't, but he doesn't seem especially extreme, tbh- he's not as racist as a lot of people on here sometimes eppear to be.
But if all opinions have to always be backed up with pure fact, then I don't think any of us could stay. I guess the trouble is that there is a left-wing consensus on here a lot of the time, which tends to mean it's only the right-wingers who have to continually justify their position.
Take religion- Aladdin says a lot of things about religious people being dangerous, but he doesn't have to back that up with fact. I have seen Christians referred to as "little Hitlers" on here, but that opinion wasn't challenged because it fits in with the consensus.
Always remember that just because you agree with the spin it doesn't mean that the spin is correct. I've said before that Michael Moore is as biased as Ann Coulter is, and is just as liberal with half-baked bias and propaganda, but the consensus on here agrees with him so his bias and his half-truths are ignored whilst Coulter's are vilified.
Moore takes Clinton and Gore to task as much as he takes Bush and his cronies.
Of course, but he is still biased- he's just biased against the whole lot of 'em...
Mind, I don't think there is such a thing as objective truth- the truth is what one wishes to believe.
There is objective truth, the implications of any truth might be open for debate, but there are factual realities surrounding us and affecting us daily.
Physical realities are different:p
I was more thinking in a poilitical sort of way, but don't hurt me- it's not an opinion I've thought about for very long:p
I just think most people put bias and spin on everything they do. One can take the fact that, say, 2+2=4 and spin it in any number of ways...actually, that example is a bit too Orwellian...
I totally aggree with you on the religion front though, there does seem to be an attitude of extrapolating the actions of some Christians/Whatever to mean all of them.
But, I still think that Makoveli UK is reactionary in his views.
Many actualities are nontheless quite objectively true, i.e. the ownership of all media into fewer and fewer corporate hands. What one or another makes of that and its ramifications is what is open to conflicting analysis.
And i wouldnt really hurt you, you should know that by now
I think he is, but I don't think he's being particularly offensive, tbh.
I think it does tend to be quite "lefty" actually, which I don't think is a bad thing but hell. It's still there.
Yeah, I see what you mean Clandestine. I guess it's what I mean, just put better:)
That always gets me too, it seems alot of my freinds are quite right wing leaning, even as far as the BNP with some people:eek2:
A lot of people are, and I don't quite know why.
I think it's because the young tend to rebel against the status quo, and the staus quo at the minute is to be socially and racially tolerant.
