And while we may be equally at fault for feeding the troll, ultimately it's the troll's fault. You know, when mawnck first started posting here, I remember him calling you a troll, and I actually said that you weren't, or at least, didn't used to be. But because he was newer to the boards, all he saw was your trollish behavior. Because trolls don't just do it to provoke, they also do it to derail topics, and that's what you've done here. Probably not a coincidence that it's on a topic that must be a sore spot for you, proving once and for all that our involvement in Iraq was based on - wait for it - lies (thus your need to accuse liberals of the same), and that your heroes in the Bush admin did a pisspoor job of vetting their intelligence. But more to the point. You have had poster after poster respond to you with some mix of exasperation, sympathy, contempt, tough love, or bemusement, depending on the poster involved. But none who thought you were making any sense, despite their various ideologies. That should tell you something, but you've convinced yourself that all liberals (and highly suspect moderates and conservatives-in-name-only) just like to attack righteous conservatives unfairly, despite the ridiculous binary thinking such an opinion requires, and despite the fact that non-trollish conservatives here distinguish quite well between being disagreed with and being attacked, thank you very much. You've had conservatives (whether you accept them as such or not) telling you flat out that it's people like you who have driven them from the GOP. THAT should tell you something too. And yet all it does is make you double your self-convincing paranoia that you're some kind of persecuted martyr and anyone who says so can't be a "real" conservative. Get over yourself. No one is lying about you, and some people here are actually trying to help you or snap you out yourself, though you refuse to see it. You have indeed devolved into trollish behavior, and as such, there's only one really appropriate response. DFTT.

Which poster took the topic off the rails and made it about him and not about the original post? There are conservatives who post here who engage in back and forth dialogue. And there are others who disrupt the dialogue so it can't be discussed rationally. Who derailed this topic and made it veer into something else? Hint: it wasn't a liberal.

Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Yeah, well, there's a part of that wishes I was lying. We went to Steakhouse 55 last night for an early birthday dinner seeing as how today is Easter.

We're going back there next year as well for the symmetry of it because then I'll be 55, providing I don't run into too many Cadillacs before then.
