The sad thing is, I think he does that for free.

No way. 'He' is on the LNP pay-roll. Peta Credlin (or someone on her staff) probably........and doing a great job keeping the LNP agenda right up there all the time.

Gimme the buttons for 48 hours. I'll immediately ban Maqqa....and then.....wait to see what next pops up.

Now why would you ban maqqa when all he does is start multiple threads? He doesnt really abuse ppl and he has a right to his (weird) opinion. The real trolls abuse ppl and dont even bother referring to the topics and completely derail any threads they disagree with by personal abuse. They should be banned before the peaceful ppl who you can ignore if you dont like their threads. I dont open every maqqa thread but every single thread i go in there are 3 - or 4 trolls that follow me around with personal abuse and no discussion @ all and it halts anyone else from being able to have a discussion. Also its not just me - its anyone not to the right of hitler that cops these few trolls stalking them.

Miss Borg, as soon as you use Hitler (totally out of context) trying to defend or justify a point you lose.

Lets look at who on here you engage and they you..........Emma Peel and Wiseone. That in it's self would ring alarm bells in most people as both appear to be half a teaspoon of coffee short of a cup.

If you weren't such a dingbat you may have posters responding to the subject matter but your posts like these certainly don't help.

Lots of ppl here prolly wouldn't remember her seeing as they werent born yet.

You have evidence that anyone will molest anyone else? What makes you think you can call ppl molesters without knowing anything about them

Go away troll

Now, blow your nose, dry your eyes and stop blubbering.

To send the clear message that one must check to see if there is an existing thread on a subject before you start another on the same subject. I ban (well.....for a short period) would work miracles.

I actually used to do this occasionally when the forum was 100 times smaller. Then it started to feel like OCD. I have put it in the rules somewhere that you should check for existing threads on a topic before starting a new one. I know crook starts one on whaling every time Paul Watson farts.

That being said, I am all for Aussie getting some action.

How funny. Grin

Ah, yes. Reductio ad Hitlerum or Playing the Nazi or Hitler card.

From the Urban Dictionary:

Quote:

A common last ditch effort in a heated political debate to steer the argument back in one's favor by declaring your opponent's position to be that of Adolf Hitler.

Often times this is done with little thought as to whether or not Adolf Hitler was for or against a particular side. Who cares about logic it's just fun to insult your opponents by likening them or their beliefs to tyrannical despots.

Lost count of how many times I've seen that used in my 12 years online.

Myself also, Carl.

But, sometimes, it is a valid response to an argument, depending on the topic, the context and the intent.

It isn't always the last refuge of someone who's lost the argument, or the response of a troll.

(Just usually). Tongue
