Agreed. And in no way was I referring to you. Hope you know that.

I was referring to people who are pinged to a thread, instigate, lie down in the street and flag the semi to run over them.....and THEN cry victim to the Admin Mods and the owner of this site. MULTIPLE times. They even brag about it. No wonder the thread(s) gets pulled.

And most are pretty savy about not playing the role of the 'semi'.....but even then, words are twisted, fabricated, or taken out of context in order to achieve victimhood. I've seen it 3 times, with the same person, over the last 2 weeks.

So I was making a point about the virtuosity espoused. No one is seeking this person out. This person is pinged to these threads.

Well one particular person was a real piece of work, but as you say, quite skilled in effecting maximum damage, almost akin to a WMD. LOL.

So this is where everyone is at..

A couple of points:

I have 8 or 9 ping lists, which vary by subject. If I see a relevant thread, I go to one of the lists.

Neither of the suspended Freepers is on any of them. Prior to her suspension, I scolded the suspendee you don't care for, via Freepmail, for engaging in the flame war and helping to get the thread deleted, which I had posted and into which I had put a bit of effort. My "game," if you care to look at my posts, is to try and bring facts to light and discuss them. I confess that I do have a point of view, but I think you'll also notice that I frequently ask other posters to provide information, sources, and links, as I am not beyond persuasion.

Also, I am known to have people who aren't necessarily likeminded on some of my lists, because we get along and we have enjoyable and interesting discussions, even in disagreement.

It's happened, on occasion, that some posters on my lists have gone after others of a more gentle disposition, and it's not unheard of for me to intervene, whether by Freepmail or on the thread itself, in those instances.

Ask around.
