Thank God for Locker. This old world desperately needs more comedy. We all need to lighten up, take ourselves less seriously and learn to laugh at ourselves.
So I was thinking that if Republicans are wrong about everything, then if they did the opposite they would be right.
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah!

....“philodestructiveness”, schoolchildren will stop being required to learn the meanings of words like “hexosemonophosphoric” and “indistinguishability”. They will be incapable of comprehending that I have one itsy-bitsy problem with John's practices. Videlicet....
I'm going straight to dictionary.com with this stuff.

Craig, about the only thing I can say with real confidence on this thread is that if you post on it, someone will think you're an idiot and say so, often in rather mean fashion.
Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings! Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
Stupid git!!
Is that what you mean? :-)

I know who ElbowHurt is, and he a Psychopath.
He's come on several times before with new names each time, and he purposefully stalks me so he can throw insults and bully me.
He bullied some other posters today as well.
Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists
Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.
Post published by Jennifer Golbeck Ph.D. on Sep 18, 2014 in Your Online Secrets
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/your-online-secrets/201409/internet-trolls-are-narcissists-psychopaths-and-sadists
In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published(link is external) that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people.
Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.
What kind of person would do this? Some Canadian researchers decided to find out.
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.
They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the paper:
Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their paper:
"... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists." [emphasis added]
Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article):"Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"
The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:
1.These trolls are some truly horrible people.
2.It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them.
the sadist says
it's all in good fun, why do you take it so seriously?

This is a debate about Trolls
why does everyone have to say
"don't take it so seriously"
It's educational to look inside the troll, to ask them questions, to find out if it makes them happy or not.
Do they enjoy insulting people? Do they insult their wife? or just other posters?
I don't take it seriously enough to have it affect me in one way or another.
But trolling needs to be talked about, right?

No, Craig. I don't think so. Let it go, man.
If it degrades to the point of doing slimy sh#t offline, then go after it. Otherwise, it's just stoooopid pixel bitching.

Locker's photoshopped posts on the previous page struck me as hilarious.
Hilarious and priceless. Ho man, that was worth the dime.
