This guy -- curious311 -- is a troll. I mean, really

Of course, he's a troll.

Not to mention a boor.

And demonstrably ignorant on the subjects he chooses to make assertions about.

To be honest, my impression is that he might be all of 14.

Which leads me to wonder, why are we wasting our time arguing with him?

Osama apologist curious311 is gone.

I only argue with even the most obvious of trolls for the lurkers and uninformed; hate to have them spin their stuff on FR.

What really surprised me was that the guy really was channeling Left revisionists from 30 years ago, the kind of historiographical Alger Hiss types who were always attacking Harry Truman and the Dulles brothers for having backbones.

Then he tried to enlist Dwight Eisenhower on his side. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and figuring that he was a college student, but after seeing the crap he put up over on the Abu Ghraib thread.......I think he really did try to lie to us and buffalo someone. I think now that he knew better, and did it on purpose. Unbelievable.

Is this the kind of person who's going to be misusing the name of "citizen of the United States" in future? Democrats like Henry Jackson would have disowned people like this.

Call me naive, but I keep getting surprised when I run into genuine, witting dishonesty on these threads, stuff put up by people who know better, for dishonest reasons. It's pretty discouraging.

I am happy to report that curious311 is gone - banned or suspended.
