...(..under Flame Wars..)...

‘When a thread—or in some cases, an entire forum—becomes unstable’...:laugh:...

Ammi is the biggest troublemaker...

There, I've taken a shortcut and gone straight for an ad hominem attack :hee:

I find the debates on forums are better than on social media like Twitter.

Twitter is a cesspool.

Wikisplained... :idc:

When I read it, I did comment to my wife (an avid / professional Twitter user) that it applies well to all social media and she agrees :joker:.

Shhhhhh I was out and posted it from my phone and it ****ed up, and then I also couldn't edit the title from my phone. :hmph:

Sock puppet
Main article: Sockpuppet (Internet)
The term sock puppet refers to multiple pseudonyms in use by the same person on a particular message board or forum. The analogy of a sock puppet is of a puppeteer holding up both hands and supplying dialogue to both puppets simultaneously. A typical use of a sockpuppet account is to agree with or debate another sockpuppet account belonging to the same person, for the purposes of reinforcing the puppeteer's position in an argument. Sock puppets are usually found when an IP address check is done on the accounts in forums.


..I haven’t heard of a sock puppet before...I guess that’s someone debating with themselves on two multi accounts..?..

my mom had an pretty much argument last week on facebook, way nastier than any of the debates here, how that guy replied to her when she stood up against animal cruelty

he just replied with a angry face emoji, and then started putting angry face emoji's at more of my mom's facebook messages


so yeah forum debates are better than social media debates

I've deleted the posts about banned members.

That person didn't ever have an actual sock-puppet account, as far as I remember, anyway. Sock-puppetry is when you have multiple accounts on the go at once with the specific purpose of bolstering your own opinion.

Can I have one... puleeeeeze?
Call it a late birthday present :joker:

Yes and my comment still relates to multiple accounts used to bolster their own opinion. :smug:

Only if they're called Kizzy1, Kizzy2, etc :D

I have a confession. I am actually a sock puppet. But who do I belong to?? Let the games begin!

My money’s on Strictly Jake :suspect:

Definitely Parm.

One kizzy is plenty thank you

This.

Tbf I have nothing against Twitter, it's just I do prefer Forums.

Never enough of a good thing...
Imagine, she could debate you 24/7 :hee:

The truth?...

Aw thanks cherie :love:

Don’t think that was a compliment.

she never understands a word I am saying, so hardly :joker:

I'm wonder if you are kizzys sock puppet :suspect:

James

I could live with that :hee:
Oop, that would be interesting :pipe:

Well if you didn't keep flying off into your little hypotheticals, I know this aloof patronising tone... I've heard it before, maybe you're being manipulated cherie? Come on who's working you?... :laugh:

no its all me kizzy :tongue:, just because you cant handle me drawing in other conclusions, its not worth engaging with you these days I find, same outcome to each debate

Kizzy you are the one that starts jumping down members throats, you went away and came back still carrying around a lot of anger.

Cherie is her own person who looks at the bigger picture not just through the peep hole in the door.

How can you make such sweeping statements that Kizzy is always wrong and myopic and Cherie a far sighted oracle? Bc you disagree with Kizzy? That doesn't make her wrong you know.
And why you interfere anyway?

who knows maybe Sheriff is my sock puppet :hehe:

I post as I see fit always have sheriff, you know that. I'm my own person too, luckily I'm confident enough in my views to not care either way what your opinion of my posts is. Therefore I'll leave you to your specialty, wandering on to post some random unrelated to the thread comment or blowing smoke.

You can draw whatever you like makes no difference to me, if you just want yes men who agree with whatever you say or your stance be aware I'm nobody's puppet... never have been never will be, surely you realise that by now?

You're all a virtual punch and judy cherie have been for years! :joker:

Its clear you won’t change and in the same breath what does your opinion change on any thread on here,
nothing.

If the world is run by clever people why is the worl so messed up.

Oh
My
God.

You’ve been here five minutes and think you know everything.
