I am a twitter troll. Now, before you go off on me, I do have ethics.I don't doxx. Period. To me that is pretty much a hanging offense. I don't insult people unless they try to insult me, and if I do, it's pertaining to the issue at hand. For example, on the #47Traitors hashtag, I called out an individual that posted a comic that was WAAYYYY off base about education nowadays. The cartoon was basically saying that liberals in education were causing all the problems. So I kind of deluged him with links to proven facts. It was easily googled, and to be honest I got a kick out of it.
It then got interesting. Several more people got involved, all trying to refute every fact I posted. One said that climate change was a lie, and posted a crackpot site to try to prove it. I will not post that address here because it is a known repub talking points site. Needless to say I had about 15 sites that were factual from Berkleyearth.com to NOAA.gov.
One was saying he was a chemical engineer from one of the U.S.'s most prestigious programs. After I asked him a few basic questions regarding some issues my son is dealing with in his job with a public utility company, he proceeded to tell me that just because a person is a chemical engineer he's not going to know everything about every chemical. I kind of did get insulting about that one. It was more along the lines of calling him lazy than insulting his intelligence.I mean, here I was busting my butt finding webpages for these clowns to look at to give them the real facts, and he couldn't be bothered to look up a spec. sheet or an MSDS?
Then it got nasty. I noted that the CO2 in the atmosphere was the highest it had been in 2 million years. I was instantly insulted over this one. Everything from," Man wasn't around to measure it then!" to "The earth isn't nearly that old!" I gotta admit, my mouth was watering at this point, but I was a good boy. My response simply was " Man hasn't been here that long, but polar ice sure has been!" After every post after that started attacking me personally, I just posted this: http://psp.sagepub.com/... And blocked every one of them. Yes, I am an asshole. Yes, I am a troll. But God damn it was fun!!!!

To be honest, if you know where I am talking about, then yes, I am crazy,and my hide is impenetrable. If you don't, don't go looking for it. If you knew there were people out there that really talked like that, you would lose faith in humanity. The thing is, I actually find just enough nuggets of wisdom there once in a while to make it work going back. My mom always said I had the patience of Job though. lol
Community spotlight!?!?!? COOL!!! Thank you everybody!!!!!!
