FLT-bird to DoodleDawg: "You failed again and you’re going to fail every time you try this most basic of trolling gambits."

In fact, DoodleDawg is a scholar, or at least "history buff" of considerable learning, more adept at arcane details of historiography than pretty much any of us here, certainly in a class with rustbucket.

So DoodleDawg's challenge for FLT-bird to support his claims with real data is not a "troll", but rather in the interest of simple historical accuracy.

Now it appears that FLT-bird doesn't really have the "goods" and so huffs & puffs to blow smoke in our faces.

I thank you for your kind words but I really think there are many others around here far more knowledgeable about the rebellion than I am. Yourself included.

One of the things - there are many - that I like about Sister DoodleDawg is that she always includes something in her posts to me that makes me look good.

LOL! Bullshit. Its the standard trolling tactic.

- Make endless demands for quotes and sources. Make these demands even when you’ve already been provided with tons of quotes and sources of the exact kind you’re demanding.

- Set yourself up as judge over what is deemed acceptable as a source.

- claim any source or quote which is inconvenient for your arguments is not acceptable, not credible...just not good enough.

- send your opponent scurrying around for more quotes and sources to support his argument.

- no matter what quotes and sources he provides, deny all of them no matter what.

- waste as much of his time as possible.

- laugh about it.

Trolling 101.
