He's not insulting the other users I think, so seems like this is what the ignore link is for.

Is there some better way?

He's not, you are correct. But 7 comments on your own OP is excessive when there was only 11 total. The reason was likely to keep it at the top of the main feed. The first 3 comments are his? Why not just do that in the OP or maybe do 1 comment for corrections? And you already have the edit function.

Just don't want to see a trend where someone just makes a bunch of one line comments on a topic to keep it at the top of the feed. TPB did 3 in a row here, but 2 were at least multiple sentence responses to the OP. Comments 7, 8 and 9 were also useless. Basically I'm pointing out that I could easily monopolize the "above the fold section" of the site with new threads and then comment on my own threads while no one else interacts.

This probably isn't the best explanation, but this thread just felt very spammy/trolly and with repeats with what was already in the OP, by the OP if that makes sense. Not sure there's a way to correct it. Maybe limit to 2 consecutive comments if there hasn't been another member reply? Or make a prompt (like delete or flag) that says you've done X number of posts, please edit a previous post to get your point across?

There's not a single reason to make more than one comment on a new thread I start before anyone else has responded. Or to make 3 comments in a row. You can use the quote function in one comment and get back to a ton of people in just one comment.

They must have Horowitz' Epstein Lolita vids.

The question is will the supreme Court take more power away from Congress? If not then California case is a moot point.

Huh?

@BobD - Any response?

Oh so we have a p.net version of political correctness. If one's panties are in a bunch, like Patrick said just hit ignore or dont read his posts Could it be the content is what has aroused the ire?
This report is beginning to sound like its older brother, the famous Nunes report. A whisp of smoke and no fire. But not to worry Barr will concoct something to satiate the cult members.

You do know what spam is and what my point was, right? I also can't ignore for obvious reasons, or so I thought. There were 3 comments from the OP saying the exact same thing. Not about politics at all. It was no different than making three comments saying fart, fart, fart. The first fart was fine, the others? Completely spamming the site. I prefer exchanges of idea and thoughts even if they get testy. Not repetitive bull shit. Thought that was common sense, guess not?

You do you. I'll do me. Fair enough?

Not what you did at all here. But whatever. You failed to ignore that I also mentioned I didn't appreciated TPB comments, or at least the barrage of them. Get the fucking thought out in one post/comment, MAYBE two in a row or take some tard meds. Otherwise it's just childish trolling and pushing topics to the top that someone wants there. That's a quick way to sink a site if allowed. (Check that out! Quoted two different users in one comment! My fucking hands hurt, but I did it. Patrick, where's my trophy?)

Yeah we all have our own styles. I've done the string of posts so I'm not judgy.

Hmm, not a Ukrainian troll?

What does this mean? The D's have so far just mocked outrage, at which only the most blind leftists still go along with.

You obviously disagree, but how?

Where are the facts for russian collusion or ukraine QPQ? Looks all made up thus far. ...AND we're starting to see backlash from the lies.

Flynn will be completely exonerated if he hasnt been already. The coup against Trump will have repercussions , albeit almost definitely less than the promised fox news bombshells as you point out above.

refusal to answer a questio

What question? If it's the question I'm thinking of, I did answer it and you just don't agree with the answer. That's not answering the question though.

BobD says

If I was trying to bump the thread when quoting TPB why would I do three posts within 1 minute of each other? Not really the best way to bump a thread, wouldn't you agree?

Ughh. Do people not understand forums?? I think you do and I'll explain what you did and you know it's what you were doing.

9:47am you make the OP.
10:55-10:56 you make 3 nonsensical comments

You saw no one had taken the bait on the OP yet. Why was that? Because people scroll through here and look for active posts. You had no comments and it was slipping down the page. Solution, just make 3 comments up. Gives it the look of an active post with 3 comments and yes, it does bring it back to the top. And BAM, post is more likely to be read and was.

You're now going to say this isn't what you were doing and I know that's not true. We'll have to just disagree on that before you come back and say I'm wrong, because I'm not. I (and most) would have never read this thread without seeing the high comment count and you know this to be true.

BobD says

Actually, I was quoting what TPB said for 2 of them in case he edited what he said later. Although I don't think TPB would change what he said I quoted him anyway. I decided to add the # to point out that what he said will be disproven on December 9th. Thought it was obvious what I was doing but I guess It was not obvious for all.

Nope. You readily admit TPB probably wouldn't change it. That's a silly excuse and you know it. Who cares if he changes it? Either way, TPB would have a lot of work on his hands to change all his posts/comments regarding recent events and you know that it wouldn't be realistic.

You were comment pumping the thread to make it look more active than it was to get people baited and still also bump it to the top. You could have quoted all 3 in one post unless you hit the character limit, which you wouldn't have. So 6 comments should have been 1. I think you knew what you were doing, but maybe you really didn't know. Now you do. It happens on every forum and it's annoying and keeps bad topics highlighted that never should have been.

CBOEtrader says

Yeah we all have our own styles. I've done the string of posts so I'm not judgy.

You do different content/comments though if you do a string. I'm okay with that, although it would be nice to have it wrapped up in one nice package admittedly. But it's not a big deal, like TPB did above.

You also don't make a new post, see it's flopped with other users and then make 3 comments before others users have said anything about the topic. Everything in the first 3 comments was already stated in the OP.

It's a tactic used by trolls in other forums and lessens the experience and conversation that can be good here at times. Hence why I tagged @Patrick in my previous comment here. It's the center of attention troll that tries to keep a bad topic relevant by building up the comment count. The edit button works just fine for up to a week I believe. Which negates the excuse made here as well about TPB changing comments.

Either consciously or subconsciously people will read posts/topic with higher comment counts. Forum 101.

Didn't he plead guilty? Why did he plead guilty if he was innocent?, that is strange.

Everyone pleads guilty when faced w financial and family collapse.

Flynn has since turned the tables on the prosecution, with his lawyer now suggesting she expects : https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/11/01/flynn_lawyer_sidney_powell_i_expect_judge_to_postpone_sentencing_hold_prosecutors_in_contempt.html

The Judge doesn't want to be forced to rule that the FBI and Government broke the Brady Rule, and worse, doctored evidence.

We have the Adulterers' chat plotting to have Lisa Page take them from somebody else's desk and edit the 302s.

The FBI has gotta be replaced entirely. They deliberately don't record interviews on purpose, so they can create "Lying to Federal Agent" traps. Not just Flynn, been going on for decades, a Hoover Tactic. It's your word against their subjectively written report.

...and they used the entire force of this system to attempt a coup w Trump.

I dont doubt CNN will keep saying everything is NBG.

Rational people who turn CNN off will see the treason on display, and hopefully tear the FBI down brick by brick

BobD says

And who got the scoop first? CNN that's who!

Who got the fake leaks first? CNN!

Remember the misdated emails to Don Jr. about wikileaks from December 2017? We still never got an explanation.

My understanding is that the Flynn interview was recorded. He is a friggin General not some smuck that doesn't know his ass from his elbow when dealing with the Feds. But on the other hand he probably thought he was smarter then they were, oh well.

Dont count on that judge to "free him".After seeing the evidence, which has not been made public he mentioned the word treason (wrongly I might add). Flynn is guilty, he already plead so. Its clear he is going for a pardon by ginning up the fox news conspiracy bullshit to get Trump's attention after ratting out others to Muller's crew. Doubt it will work but maybe if he starts chanting lock Bidden up Donnie will forgive him.

John Huber is investigating Hillary Clinton & her Uranium One Scandal.
(Pg 294 of OIG Report)

John Durham is investigating the origins of the Russia Witch Hunt.

And Michael Horowitz is releasing the FISA Report in 14 days.

Things are happening.
May God bring some real justice.

Huber and Horowitz's investigations have been leak proof.

Horowitz doesn't have the power to charge anybody through his office himself. He does, however, have to power to refer to the DOJ.

Any bullshit you're hearing is fabrication from "People briefed on the matter" with nothing verifiable, most likely DNC operatives, in an attempt to muddy the waters.

HK will soon be part of China. CNN won’t complain unless bathrooms are gendered and won’t accommodate choices of CNN staff.

I’m sure it’s all real on a sketchy liberal activist website.

Dude You really should get yourself out of that propaganda bubble or you’ll go crazy.

Key to happiness is right focus. Aka not being in fringe political bubbles where misery and insanity loves company.

Patrick will be changing to "Freedom to Annoy" or "Freedom to Ignore" - because some are so childish & entitled that any comment could could make them feel bad.

APO - 49 ignores
HEYYOU - 44 ignores
How many are the same overly sensitive pussies?

I don’t have you on ignore. Sincere question though to you and AF. What is the actual end game for you guys? What do you get out of your postings here?

BobD says

Did I make any personal comments? You are free to make your own forum and can adopt any rules you like

If you can’t see it’s a recipe for disaster for a forum then I’m not sure what to say. Not sure what you’re talking about with personal comments either.

Also, not sure why you assume I don’t run a forum but can still comment here.... I like Patrick’s site. Everyone should be open to improvement though and he was. He didn’t just blindly shoot me down when I mentioned topic/post spamming by loading up on the comments.

The Democrats are fucked.

If either Mitt Romney or John McCain has gotten just 15% of the black vote, they would have been president.

OccasionalCortex says

Black voters are flocking to President Trump in unprecedented numbers

Ha ha ha dream on.

This latest narative that is making its way through the fox news echo chamber that the Dems are folding on impeachment is ridiculous. While it's true many didn't want to go down this path, and wouldnt have before this Ukraine mess surfaced. The fact that Trump intended (and still intends) to use foreign help to eek out a win in 2020 as he did in 2016 didn't give them any real choice. He is going to be impeached 90 % +.

fox news echo chamber

Umm...the fox news echo chamber is mostly now on the Democrat's side, pal. Catch up on recent events.

To bad this poster creates new accounts every few months so that he/she/ze/zim/it can’t ever be accountable for their posting. Instead were forced to refer to Democrats in general terms.

CovfefeButDeadly says

creates new accounts every few months

Yup. I know it's impossible for Patrick to stop, but it's annoying. I've said it a while back, I don't even like being allow to change usernames. I get it's about the conversation/argument and not the person, but ultimately the person is material to the discussion. I dislike getting into bullshit with people I know that are not going to listen to any or even bad idea. They're close minded out the gate. Ignore only works if they keep the same account, which many times they don't.

I miss the days when we could click into a profile and see past user names as well. I think that should come back at minimum if someone hasn't created a new account with a brand new email. I know with VPN (which I sometimes use) it's impossible to do the IP address linking accurately, but at least link multiple usernames to a singular email if they change the username.

After staggering out o the Betty Ford clinic for the twelfth time She vowed to impeach Trump.
