Comment on Reclaim Reddit: Greasemonkey script to remove Ron Paul storiesparent

Comments

I'm curious what you would consider a "good" argument (not isomorphic with trolls) argument against your statements in this thread?

Perhaps I'm misreading, but many of your comments come off as essentially dismissing the Ron Paul phenomenon as the work of a handful of zealots. It's not surprising that his supporters disagree with that notion, as it implies that their efforts and views are not legitimate.

BTW, here is a video of Ron Paul with a bunch of hackers. The room was completely packed and overflowing into a second room (connected by video). Of course they aren't all RP supporters, but a large fraction are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCM_wQy4YVg

A good reply is one that you can reply to by taking the discussion further, instead of having to re-explain what you said in the previous comment. The distinctive thing about conversations with both trolls and zealots is that you're always having to begin comments with "no, what I said was..."

I'd like to add ex-wives to that list, please :)
