Indeed it does, except the tongue in cheek remark went over your head. Maybe you should be banned too. Like I said - trolling...
SMH

weaslespit keeps on defining "trolling" to what he feels it should be defined instead of sucking up to his own mistakes writing offensive responses to things that even agree with his ideals. He doesn't realize that he reaps what he sows.
This is pure politics, nothing different, no changes are necessary, calm down and carry on.

He doesn't realize that he reaps what he sows. This is pure politics, nothing different, no changes are necessary, calm down and carry on. No, debating ideas using links to substantiate claims is politics. Blindly insulting all 'liberals' or 'conservatives', much less the individual poster via ad hominem attacks is not acceptable, in any manner of discourse. Particularly when said insults are literally the 'only' thing posted - repeatedly - with no reference made to the subject of discussion. Like your ad hominem post above.
It is clear why you won't register. You troll others...
Hence the new last-ditch effort those few of us who remain have implemented; no further responses to unregistered posters in the politics thread. Like Heathen. 
We see you.

Yo Momma say the biggest troll is registered, often thanks someone for proving a point in his deflections.

Links are not facts. Pointing to links mean nothing, it only points to one person who shares your views, nowhere near a fact.
Yo Momma, I completely disagree with your views except the fact that it's your right to post them. If they do end up banning us as guest posters, I sure hope you register and get your views across.
For me, I don't see a point to register, there's like only one or two people on this forum really worth talking to - one of which is actually user with id 1, except he doesn't log in enough.

Links substantiate opinion when said links reference reputable sources to verify facts. They also refute opinions when again, said links reference reputable sources to verify facts. |

By the way, if it's not obvious, the registered picturefreak is not the real picturefreak. Alas, I don't care. I shall remain anonymous! LOL I'm the real Picturefreak! That the imposter couldn't even use this ID ends that discussion. There's nothing real about guest user with no posting history other than whatever name they chose to put up before posting. I don't claim to have much credibility here -- yet! -- but it's so much more than someone who posts for such a long period but is scared or unwilling to leave a history for others to consider. In other words, guests are nobody. |

Wow look at all that hypocrisy in that statement and all the posts picturefreak did in the past...
1. Compare the text written by the imposter and this current typing. Picturefreak never posts with a capital P. BZZT Good try.
2. If the registered picturefreak is the real picturefreak, that would instantly give no credit at all due to backing down on an oath. There's this other person that lost credibility by backing off an oath after actually trying hard to keep it...
3. Speaking of guest posters not having any real value, then they should not be read. However once you quoting such, it means that the guest poster indeed had relevance as you either are too stupid to read what was posted, or you actually read it!
'nuff said!

I can make up thousands of lying websites and point them all to the false websites. It does not make statement any more true. Both the left and the right do this. The other problem: what is reputable anymore? Blightfart? CommieNewsNetwork? reedit? SMH. |

Which is why I always take it upon myself to ensure I am not duping myself, as well as others when I utilize links to substantiate my posts. And why I also use this site to refute questionable sources used for the reason you state.
It isn't hard - but to say 'all links are garbage' is disingenuous.

Just because they say they aren't biased doesn't mean they aren't biased. A single link is worthless, people have to research the facts themselves. Look at multiple distinct sources, even biased ones. Compare how they're written. Ensure the sources used are orthogonal. Don't assume anything given is always correct. Think.
So any one single link is garbage because it is always demonstrating what the linker is wanting them to see. By definition it's biased.
So tell me, is there any one single link that tells whether this specific post is true or not? Of course not.
But the fact of the matter is that you still read it, you think it as important enough to read it and comment, so that means that it's not garbage despite it's from an anonymous poster.

Note how this is the 'only' thread in which I respond to anonymous posters. We SEE you.
Doesn't matter much anymore though, over the past month since this thread was created as a last gasp the Politics forum has died. I tried, and failed...
