ANOTHER came at me. He said he'd "owned" me with a rebuttal after I'd blocked him, then proceeded to spam every comment I'd left in the last 24 hours with a challenge. After waiting all of an hour.

So I looked.

My original point? "Kavanaugh's own calendar didn't match up with his repeated perjury."

His ownage? This link. theconservativetreehouse.com/2

It "proves" Ford was lying because her lawyer friend was... standing kinda near her? No calendar mention at all.

@zebratron2084 yep. seriously, either they really do (to be *extremely* nice about it) have quite a bit of difficulty following any particular train of thought, or (far more likely) they're arguing in bad faith and using the same goalpost-moving, knee-jerk, "lol I win because you said a thing" tactics they always do, and in their shriveled rotten little hearts they know they lost a long damn time ago. :D

@troodon See, YOU get it. That's what people always used to miss when they'd cluck their tongues at me during the Livejournal days. The first thing I learned about these people is they are TOTALLY LYING about their lack of emotional vulnerability.

You CAN beat a troll. You just never get the pleasure of seeing them adjust the scoreboard when you do. But you gradually learn to recognize the tells that they DO know, and they WILL stew in it, as they deserve.

@troodon And if that accomplishes nothing more than making them think twice before they go to "pwn a libtard" with no real information... that's good enough for me.

The funny thing is, as much as I get accused of bullying myself, all it's EVER taken to stop a tiger charge is saying "Let's not do this, okay?" Or to concede a single one of my points, even if they disagree with all others. In all my years as a troll-hunter, not ONE has ever tried either one.

@zebratron2084 and truly, playing for the bleachers *is* the goal, and it *does* make a difference. there's plenty of thoughtful people in the audience, too intimidated or unsure to speak up, listening intently and coming to their own conclusions.
