So I've been considering the influx of semi-new lefist posters...

Let me be clear, I'm talking about a specific subset of posters who lean left here.

I'm NOT talking about long time posters who have always leaned left and are taking victory laps. That makes perfect sense and honestly I enjoy their points of view, even if many times I disagree.

I'm NOT talking about posters with accounts that are multiple years old, but have few posts. Yes, those are almost certainly alters, which makes them pathetic...but even that I get.

I'm talking specifically about new accounts that have been created in the past couple of months that seemingly have no affiliation with LSU, another SEC program, any schools LSU has played, not from Louisiana, etc. See where I'm going with this? As an LSU Sports Message board at heart, it makes sense to have people from all over but who have that connection as the reason they originally showed up here. But we've had a very obvious influx of generic lefties that are here almost exclusively to throw rhetorical bombs all over and cause general mayhem.

Why? I think it's simply to cause someone here of fricking up and saying something so outlandish they can run to some "authority" and try and get things shut down. Truth is, nothing else makes sense based off of their behavior in most cases. And given what was posted a couple of days ago about some post on Reddit or wherever calling to light this place and how people needed to start turning us in, it only makes sense. They are not here to have a debate, as none of them are any good at it. They are not here to break up the "echo chamber" they consider it out of some goodness of their heart, again....because most of them are not engaging in debate. And while I'd find it pathetic, I don't even think that they've showed up just to troll the board for shits and giggles. Hell...did any posters here show up to lefty echo chambers" like DU and create an account just to frick with someone? It wouldn't have dawned on me to do that, but then I'm not insane.

Nah...I think it's to egg on posters here into saying or doing something so outrageous while tensions are high they they can run to some agency and cry about it. So, my suggestion is this...stop engaging them entirely. If you are arguing with a poster who seems uninterested in debate and has a post history that runs alllllllllll the way back to this past November, just stop. You are basically being engaged by the equivalent of your younger sibling in the back seat on a long trip who is poking you quietly waiting for you to punch the shite out of them so they can cry to mom and dad.

There are plenty of posters here to talk to and even argue with that you likely know from experience. My advice...stick to them and allow the, in some cases almost certainly, paid agitators to throw shite at the wall by themselves. Or don't...unlike the left I'm not interested in forcing you to do anyting.
