On Discussionist: "I can honestly say I've never seen the fighting in DU so bad as today (Rubicon)

(Who says the GOP are not logging onto the DU to cause trouble between us)

And this from Ben_Ghazi: "my troll account, it is so much fun poking and prodding at all the right times.

All it takes is 2 or 3 words to get the dummies at each others throats. So much fail.., such a shitty dem presidemt... such a shitty candidate... and they are going to get hillary like it or not. It's glorious."

7. I implied that they, GOP trolls messing things up, were psychopaths. Not the real Bernie supporters.

And I know that that was a pretty ludicrous claim, given we're not the ones using stormfront as a primary source and calling Clinton a rapist. I know that it's an effort on your part to paint bernie supporters as being right-wing trolls, because you're not a very subtle person.

What's your name on DI? i'm Twilight Sporkle (I had a Brony phase, okay?)

trolls Friday night. Who were encouraged to think Bernie camp could never, ever make a mistake. I do agree that there are trolls pretending to be Clinton supporters too. The GOP troll practice in the past is to take a settled issues like feminism and race on the DU and work the DU into a frenzy of hate on those two issues. The GOP trolls did that after the 2012 election. Why would you think they would not do it to Bernie and Hillary supporters when there is an actual election? Those were the psychopaths I was referring to. I'm gowiththrottleup on the DI.

Bragging that their "friends" would all be voting Trump isntead of Sanders. making allusions of rape agaisnt Sanders. And of course just making shit up. On top of a full seven months of hatred, vitriol, and pure bullshit from the same bunch, which I have described quite frequently.

Now if you want to point at these folks and call them trolls... By all means, do so.

I'll wait. Very patiently.

...when I heavily suspected that I was being "Push his buttons" thing.

"You don't know what you're talking about"
(Me) "Maybe you misunderstood what I said or I didn't make my point clear"
"You do that a lot and then act like it's a mistake. Stop trying to fool everyone" It's not working."

Of course, a part of me then wants to say: :I know what you can do. Kiss my Fuc...... you piece of Sh...
I catch myself though and do the ignore thing.
