    Things would be so much nicer if all of you folks would just perform the simple task of NOT RESPONDING to the obvious trolls.

    OP must be pretty flustered, editing his post for 12 hours

    I just saw this, really worrisome. Humans love categorizing things, but the love of categorizing humans seems especially strong in certain people and I've found that more often than not, these people are less opposed to racial discrimination, bigotry, and they generally tend to seek homogenous surroundings.

    I am glad to be in such distinguished company.

    Yeah, I admit it. I am a socialist of the Swedish type. I like social mobility and all that other old fashioned stuff America used to stand for.

    No, you are not. You are a communist of the Stalin type.

    OMG... the hysteria! This is a gag, people. Categorizations are necessarily broad and imperfect and unsatisfying. Just look at the vaunted tomato: fruit or veggie?

    Can't wait to see the reverse treatment. My money is on it being outright mean. Shiver....

    The way I figure it, I just made someone who made a list of his enemies happier.

    Nixon/Frost taught me that Nixon was one lonely guy.

    So I consider it my good guy task of the day.

    In an effort to provide a primer to the new posters of the D&D, I've created the below guide to our right-wing nut posters. This is not meant to be insulting to any of these two right-wing poster – that's not my point. I've tried to objectively classify the extreme and frequent posters of the right, in an effort to assist the normal posters to recognize bias, contextual clues and trends in these extreme right-wing posts - which without this guide they would clearly be steered wrongly and manipulated into thinking they were somehow different than they appear to be.

    1. Extreme right-wing – their ideas are so far out there that they teeter on the edge of fascism or worse. They're waaaaaay out there – the far right of the right. Among their typical targets: minorities, the middle class, those with strong moral codes. Strong underlying anger factor, leading to prolific trolling and condescension.

    2. "Blinded by hate and bias" – likely suffered a traumatic event in the past to the point that their frustration and even hatred are close to reaching a boiling point. They could literally crack at any moment, and they have a history of cracking in the D&D.

    3. "Pure-play pilers-on" -- Limited critical thinking, limited original thought. Like. They come in after the fact and snipe, without offering a well though-out point of view. They skew context and quote ultra conservative blogs with misleading data points. Insults are common among this bunch, also.

    4. Racism "dark knights" – guys who go out of their way to ensure everyone thinks they're not racist, to the point that they slander and try to villain-ize non-racist posters who point out the raciallly implicit context of their own posts
    • Bigtexxx
    • Trader Jorge

    5. Tea Party -only fans – they limit most of their posts to biased offerings that support Tea Part positions and beliefs
    • Bigtexxx
    • Trader Jorge

    6. Anti-Obama-issue-only fans – these guys are the attackers of all things Obama, and focus 90% of their energy reposting every possible attack angle that they can speculate on against Obama

    7. Central bank interns whose sole objective is to try to inject something they learned about the central bank of some second tier country into each post

    Sweet Lou, you forgot right-wing posters who are paid to spam message boards with tea-party propaganda and unfunny memes.

    I missed it. Has Dakota left the board? Overall a very valuable Rocket fan (and we all know how tough that can be) who I have agreed with frequently in the GARM.

    update: I've decided that I need to improve the labeling of the various "Types" of liberals. Type 1, type 2 just isn't memorable enough. I'll be applying short, pithy names to Types 1-9 later today.
