What does all this palaver have to do with voting fraud in Massachusetts?

Nothing. It was just me experimenting with a title to see if it made you lot look... It worked! (Hehe! (Nothing bad intended. Just a sense of humour)).

Aren't Sooty and Sweep sockpuppets too? Remember them or are you too young?
I loved them when I was a kid.


Yes. I remember them. My Mum remembers them from when she was young. It came as a big surprize to find that somewhere during the early to mid 1990's when we had move up to a colour TV to find that Sooty was actually yellow and not white.

You know there are many sockpuppets on this site. I can never understand the strong motivation and drive to deceive that fuels these individuals. They aim to sabotage and derail the good that is being done to improve things.

Justice will prevail!! Down with sock puppets and trolls!
Let's not hate them though, they are just seeking attention and are unhappy, lonely people who have nothing more meaningful to do with their lives. The thing with sock puppets and trolls is that even when they are in a positive environment they cannot help themselves and they sabotage the good things they find also. Yes sockpuppets are lost and confused souls and demand attention like naughty, neglected children, but they still deserve our empathy.


Even sockpuppets and trolls need to follow the rulz, these days.
I don't really see a major problem.

The real issue is people becoming emotional as a result of baiting and fallacious or deliberately misleading posts.
Personally, I enjoy the exercise of pulling apart faulty thinking and resisting being ensnared in emotionalism.

"Don't feed the trolls."
Dissect them. 8)


I have no problem with trolls (Whatever they are).

TRIP TRAP, TRIP TRAP,
MOUNTAIN GOAT IS ON THE BRIDGE!
