Let's all try and stay calm, shall we?

Um, we seem to have a lot of posts on here that, let's say, '"conform" to the liberal stereotype as portrayed by conservative radio.

These posts have one thing in common: they take a liberal "slant" on the silliest of issues, hoping (I assume) to prove that liberals will see bad corporate greed bigotry Republican hatred fear in just about anything. Stereotyping 101 is in session.

Perhaps these threads are started by those who find this type of thing amusing, knowing that someone will always "bite." Gee, you wouldn't think ANYONE IN PARTICULAR might be behind this, do you?

Perhaps we should just ignore them.

Does anyone else see this, or am I just an idiot?

(that, BTW, was a rhetorical question)

1. YEEEEEEAAAAAARRRGGHH!


Perhaps 'calm' isn't the right thing to ask for.

'Focused' might be better.

2. No not an idiot at all
I've gotten so tired of the "Google censor" threads, its killin' me. I spend like 3 hours trying to show someone its just a ruse to raise traffic to one's site. The argument used in both cases made absolutely no sense. All the poster had to do was test it. Type some searches, they would have seen the silliness of the accusation. I had to completly stop responding to those threads, it was making my head hurt.

3. You aren't an idiot at all...I've seen this for the past two months
at least. I even posted a thread about infiltration questioning why the obvious bait threads were rampant. I truly believe there are folks paid to taint this site because it is so credible and because the truths here are a significant threat. I also believe it because the bait appears day and night...who has that much time to spend disrupting instead of attending to their own interests--unless this IS their interest in terms of making money.

I just wish people would ignore the obvious bait.
