    I have to say, Bigtexxx trolling has improved quite a bit. He's much better at pushing peoples buttons with ridiculous provocative posts.

    Maybe I underestimated him as a boorish moron, because it clearly takes some intelligence to troll his victims.

    I don't know. All he has to do is find the area where the Republicans are being the most ridiculous and unreasonable, and take that point of view in his posts.

    He does it, and either people haven't learned to ignore him, or there are enough new comers to bite that bait.

    Nah, it's the same usual suspects who fall for his shtick. What I see is that BigTexxx isn't here to argue but to build up his ego and feel out his balls by condescending and putting down liberals who he clearly detests. But he's learned to frustrate them by never giving an inch, using MLK as a human shield, and claiming he never personally attacks someone while he grossly puts them down (like telling Bob that he has never faced a real challenge). He attacks people for manipulating data when there are merely showing him what he is doing. It's pretty spectacular. He knows what he is doing, and I'm telling you, he's getting pleasure out of it.

    I wonder why people are letting him abuse them like that.

    You really spend a lot of time analyzing my posting. I'll make it much simpler for you -- the liberals around here think they are in the majority because the D&D is a cesspool of liberals. Think about it -- it's an NBA forum -- that brings out many liberal sub-groups: youth, blacks, muslims (more than normal due to Hakeem), foreigners (who typically lean left), etc. They're not used to getting popped in the mouth by a conservative, armed with facts, logic and reason. They think it's crazy that anybody would ever espouse an opinion other than their own, and the cadre of back-slapping liberals around here reinforce that in their minds. Then their mind explodes with frustration when they are unable to refute my points. Then they devolve into name calling and race card hurling since they cannot defend themselves. It's a pattern that's repeated over and over and over.

    Reagan more than tripled the debt during his terms, Bush doubled it. During Bush's presidency, the GOP controlled both houses of Congress.

    If you want fiscal responsibility, the only presidents who have exhibited it in the modern era have been Democrats, Clinton gave us a surplus and Obama has cut the deficit in half.

    So how would you explain the bolded part of your post, texxx? And how would that describe me, texxx? I'm not "young" (whatever that means. sometimes one can tell, and sometimes the person one describes as "young" is in their 30's, which doesn't support your comment), I'm White, I'm a Native Texan, who's family has a long history here, and am very accustomed to having debates and conversations with both conservatives and Republicans, who often don't fit in the kind of neat box you like to place people in, just as not all liberals, Democrats, or liberal Democrats fit that "box" you so delight in using.

    Do you know what is one of the most dishonest things people do around here, from both parties, and those who don't support those two parties? Lumping everyone into a nice box and either directly saying "we" all fit in that box, or strongly implying it. You are guilty of that nearly every day you post down here. And like I said, you aren't alone, and it isn't simply your party.

    It is extremely lazy thinking, in my humble opinion, and in my opinion, you should put more effort into not being a major contributor of the dishonesty here that I just described, with all due respect. From where I sit, you seem to get a great deal of pleasure from contributing to what I see as a major problem in D&D.

    So where do members like me fit in your contrived "box," texxx?

    You wouldn't know facts, logic, or reason if they popped you in the mouth with a shovel. You're a sad caricature with an overblown ego armed only with talking points from lying pundits.

    It is absolutely hilarious that you actually believe you have won so much as a single argument on this BBS.

    DELUSIONAL

    Argh, not really delusional :)

    A Troll always win or never lose an argument, as long as people play along. Unless they are hired and get paid for trolling, a troll has real psychological problems and is a very troubled individual.

    I did not say my groupings were comprehensive. Although I suspect you find comfort being among the liberal hippies, professors, lazy government employees and youth (all liberals) in Austin. What's funny, though is that the Austin suburbs are very red...

    here's a more thorough stratification of liberals around here

    BTW texxx, you haven't responded once to me calling you out on how the shutdown would have no effect on the American people. Just to let you know I have a few buddies that are on hold for their disability claims(both wounded Marines I served with) and if it continues long enough I and countless other veterans will not receive their housing allowance while attending school.

    I admit I find you an intriguing individual bigtexxx.

    It's good that you get amusement out of torturing them - everyone needs a way to get their kicks. I personally don't feel sympathy for anyone who engages you. They deserve every bit for taking the bait and you're actually doing a pretty good job of inciting them and getting their goat for a laugh. Hopefully I am not overestimating you, here - I underestimated you before but can see that you've polished your game and learned, and the techniques you are now using to get them fire-up...are not something a moron would know how to do.

    Anyway, continue to repeat your pattern. March on holy soldier!
