So we have a real dilemma. Do we fight to the death every appearance of PDS here on FR, and waste our days with arguments that cannot be won because there is no real engagement, or do we cede the field for the next few weeks at least, knowing that in four weeks or less, Sarah will herself resolve the bulk of the argument by the utterance of two simple words, "I'm in," or "I'm out."

SR, your question begs all of us to search our hearts and consider the greatest good for the greatest number. I read a call to duty between the lines, there.

I suppose that I'm simply flagged from (literally) years of battling it out on this forum on Sarah's behalf. I can name maybe another dozen or so posters who have likewise been as dedicated to holding the line against the idiotic attacks and flagrant mis-characterizations of Sarah Palin that have graced these pages for the last two and a half years.

It's been a long and brutal slog for us, and as Norm said, we've been compelled to answer the same stock PDS attack points over and over, and over again - with the same facts, logic, and reason. After a while, it begins to feel like Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day". The battles are utterly predictable, and never-changing.

But, back to my point.... I hear in your post a call to rally the troops for one final push against the horde. I hear you.

In my view, the best response on our part should be indirect. By that, I mean, stop addressing the wind-up dolls directly, and simply post our best thoughts to the original poster, or to All. Stop engaging the trolls, operatives, and the deranged directly, as there's NO profit in it.

I guess I'm saying that we staunch SP supporters ought to seriously apply the "Don't Feed The Trolls" policy from here, until Sarah's announcement.

What do you think?

I have and will pretty much continue to refuse feeding the trolls.

All I know is that we are on a long march all together and their are some who are getting weary.

Fortitude and stamina is what differentiates many from winning the game.

But its plain to see by Sarah staying tactically hidden on the field of battle the snipers have no target, that is perfectly fine with me.

You ask for the impossible ;) But it is certainly worth a shot. Just know that you’ll see a quantum increase in PDS for a while. I’m game. Let’s spread the word. I pinged Onyx and hopefully she’ll add/send this over the list if she agrees.

I'm in. Believe it or not, I've always felt that if we just ignored them, they'd go away. They just aren't worth our time, energy or attention. They are less than nothing.

I'm in.

Sounds right to me. I'm in.

I think we should call in air support.

"ZOT them all, led MOD sort 'em out!"
