You've made a troll quality insult against Republicans ("Republicans sound like trolls" without any argument, details, quote, etc). Hmm. Trolling about trolling

You've made a troll quality insult against Republicans ("Republicans sound like trolls" without any argument, details, quote, etc). Hmm. Trolling about trolling. Meta irony, I hope?
- jbooth 16y agoHe said that they've become so extreme and fundamentalist that Poe's law applied -- that their own honest statements have reached the point where they look like self-parody. You can agree or disagree, but he definitely made an argument with the Poe's law citation.
- jokermatt999 16y ago"We should not allow Muslims to enter the country." Is this statement a troll, or what someone actually believes? There's enough wrong with it that I could believe it's a troll, and yet I've honestly met people who would be completely sincere in saying it. Browse around a little more, and you'll find many other statements like it. Part of me hopes it's just idiotic trolls ruining what could have been constructive dialogue, but unfortunately I know that some of these posts are completely sincere.
- xenophanes 16y agoHeh, nice quote, I can't tell! Edit: Yes, I took it to be a real quote.
- jokermatt999 16y agoActually, that's actually a real example I found in the National Defense section. So far, that seems to be the worst minefield for "troll vs true".
- lurkinggrue 16y agoWe need to stop Muslin from getting into this country! That damn loosely-woven cotton fabric keeps getting in here. Yeah, what is sad is it is way too easy to troll in a place like that and come off as sincere as many actual arguments there are just as insane.
- mynameishere 16y agoShould Persia, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Spain, the Balkans, etc, etc, have allowed Muslims to enter their respective countries?
- jbooth 16y agoHeh. Don't beat around the bush, man. Spell it out for us. What're you saying here?
