Is trolling a board/page of a stance you hate generally a conservative phenomenon?
Say a page/board/ has a political, dietary, environmental, academic or cultural stance you are completely against.
Is it really a constructive use of one's time to troll that page? I don't get why someone would care SO MUCH; or worse yet, assume the board's regular participants who WANT to be there care so much.
For example, would any one of US be on sites like The Washington Free Beacon, The Moonie Times, Faux News or Conservative Tribune? Likely not . . . no minds would be changed (or, really, even penetrated), and you'd just get peppered with logical fallacy after ad hominem after stupidity.
I never understood the logic behind insulting people, yet it's the conservative that's on a board pertaining to something they don't like and assume people care about what they have to say. But . . . . we're somehow the assholes here.
I think this is a shout out to us. Just say it DUmmie. Oh wait, you will get banned.

Yes.
Yes, you are.

Why don't you ask BuzzClik, Bainsbane, MinerlMan, Rat, Stinky The Clown, Rabbi and a host of others that have come to here and ConservativeUnderground and trolled.

How would Hugh know about any of this going on unless he'd been trolling Conservative discussion forums?

Why would any of us be on sites like Mother Jones, HuffingPuffington Post, etc.? No minds would be changed (or, really, even penetrated), and you'd just get peppered with logical fallacy after ad hominem after stupidity.
The point of trolling isn't to persuade, it's to agitate, so no, members of one political movement are not above it.

Do keep in mind that I was invited (dared?) to come.

BS, there are libtards trolling conservative blogs and pages all across the web.

I'm a Mod on another conservative board. I don't promote it here and don't even post its name, just to avoid even the appearance of promoting it (BTW, none of this is news to CC staff). I do not view posting and discussing from an opposite POV "trolling". That said, we get a lot of spammers and some inept trolls who don't make it past the approval stage. And we ban several Prog/Lib trolls a year, generally. Other conservative-libertarian news/politics boards of which I've been a Mod or member have had to ban their shares of Prog/Lib trolls. So, no, opposite-view trolling is far from a conservative "thang".

Try posting something against gay marriage, Obama, illegal immigrants, etc. on a public board, numbnuts, and you'll soon find out you're sadly mistaken. You must be reading and posting exclusively on Prog echo-chambers.

This asshole should check out the liberal trolls and stalkers on the Scott Walker Facebook page.

Your name was merely added to prove a point to your brethren at the DUmp and the lurkers here about the stupidity of the premise of the OP.

Big time. I take it he's never heard of Brietbart, either.

Every time I go to news site, I always see leftists trolling sites. It includes Facebook. :mental:

Rat was something. Even DU did not want anything to do with him either. That is really telling.

4. I agree we don't do that
We'd be too uncomfortable with the stances we would have to take to troll from the right. The Real Right is bad enough. I wouldn't want to take say racist stances even as a fake.
And there is no equivalent to Conservative Cave type boards. We don't make boards to make fun of the freepers, for instance.
Treestar would exposed quickly. Too stupid to pass as conservative.

Troll =/= mole. DUmbass.

You're not nearly perceptive nor imaginative enough; but thanks for the shout out, DUmbass.

We don't make fun of you. YOU, make fun of you and:

All we have to do is kick back and enjoy the comedy.

On a political blog I used to frequent, we'd face regular trolling from liberal losers. One of the worst was a Marxist Eurotrash scumbag named Gunther (Apparently pronounced "Goon- ter," I used to nickname him "Goonturd" when he showed up). Before he eventually got banned, he would troll practically every post to puke out Communist crap about how America sucks, we're all ignorant rednecks, and he wants to bring about a Soviet- esque Communist "Utopia" (He maintained that the only reason why the Soviet Union failed was because the evil CIA somehow sabotaged their wheat crops to cause a famine, never mind that the CIA didn't even exist yet by that time, and he of course skirted around all the brutality and human rights atrocities committed under the Soviet Union). Then, even after getting banned, he for quite a while kept trying to continue trolling the site using different user names, yet without varying up his writing style in the slightest, so it wasn't hard at all to keep deleting his repulsive posts.

He posted all kinds or weird "art" over there and spammed CU with porn whenever he'd get past the IP filters at CU.
Last I saw of him...he along with DistressedAmerican and LynnTheDem were on their own website they'd set up.

I beg to differ. I found one.

After evaluating all of the DU quotes in this thread I have come to a conclusion.
They really didn't put much thought into their offerings.
But maybe the opposite is true.
Maybe they put all the thought they could into it.

Well, they didn't accumulate 10s of thousands of posts apiece just by typing 150 wpm!

I remember Rat pulling that crap. He did that at FR and DU. Got banned many times at CU. :mental:
He stalked and threatened a lot of people.
