Could you tell me exactly the right way to use your sandbagging procedure???? There is a far-far-almost-off-the-edge-leftie in the only other forum I belong to (it's for our community association and is supposed to be about local affairs). The guy who "volunteers" to run the board for the association is constantly posting radical editorial pieces PROVING BUSH LIED... or so he screams :-( He absolutely detests Bush/Republicans and doesn't care what kind of uncredible poison he posts as long as it supports what he wants to believe. What makes matters worse is that most of the other "old guard" in this association are Dem's also (I live close to NYC, tell you something?). I complained one time that political posts are inappropriate in a local affairs group forum only to get blasted by many of the members about "free speech", "we like what he posts", "we learn a lot from him "(YECH)

He also insists the media is biased towards Republicans.... arggg... The more I have tried to reply to his posts with documentation, etc, the more he dances around backing up "unnamed experts" with just yet more smoke-and-mirror poison.

How would you handle this guy?? I'd be most appreciative of any insight...

Sandbagging is what I like to use in situations such as one would find in school-lecture formats, question and answer, etc.. Asking questions as one who is ignorant and sincere, ala Columbo the cop.

I don't know what to tell you in your situation, other than being tenacious and insisting upon documentation. Maybe you could try to "outpost" him, beat him at his own game?
