Does it? Because Rupert Lowe is a f*ckwit.

But then you and your rightiebollox chums think we're enamoured by Starmer.

Pro tip - we aren't.

That's why I rarely directly quote him.

But then I feel like his bullsh!t needs challenged.

You mean Starmers BS

If you're mad about politicians I feel bad for you son,
I got 99 problems but Keir Starmer ain't one.

What's my son got to do with it?

He is his own man

Starmer big balls is doubling down

It is angling for challenge. Ignoring it gets under its sin.

Exactly this. It's really not a complicated concept to grasp, but the skill of a determined troll means that people think that just a few more rebuttals will make him see sense.

The evidence of hundreds and hundreds of posts suggests otherwise: he just gets worse, because that's what gets most responses. Pointless pixel pooping.

There is no skill involved in posting others material. Material that makes little sense to begin with.

It's more the old adage of "never argue with an idiot" being proven.

If that was the case your feeble phrases would have devastated me, I would have left moons ago

But an effective troll will also occasionally post vaguely sane stuff to draw people back in: it's like Russian (or any other) disinfo strategies - they have to put enough stuff in there to keep people thinking there's at least something in good faith, whereas the vaguely believable stuff is there just to keep engagement.

TBH, most of the time I don't know what megamagatroll posts, but assume he's been up to something when threads go all non-sequitury, or people feel the need to state that bears do shît in the wood.

I'm not new at forums.

And I understand where both you and @briantrumpet are coming from.

Like I said, I don't directly quote or respond but there are times when the posts deserve a response.

I don't think that's feeding, it's the only version of actual moderation we have on here.

Admit it, it’s a guilty pleasure
