Which was hidden.

Oh how true that the provocateurs who enjoy playing games usually know how to be smooth enough to seem acceptable, reasonable. Often they use that "reasonable, logical" way of wording which fools many people.

But look a little deeper and it's clear that they switch topics, twist meanings, employ debunked arguments and ridiculous, unintellectual accusations--such as telling someone they're a prude or have no sense of humor.

When their interlocutors react angrily out of frustration, as the provocateur had hoped, it is then the perfect opportunity to alert.

That's how they work it.

I think we are watching the last gasp of something that has Squinch Jan 2014 #43

I agree with this analysis. Last gasps are like what we are seeing here. CTyankee Jan 2014 #61

I see something in A LOT of them that I am pretty sure they are not realizing they communicate: Squinch Jan 2014 #84

I've been out of it I guess. What happened? SunSeeker Jan 2014 #6

Probably some alert/jury fuckery. AtheistCrusader Jan 2014 #11

Indeed. Intaglio got four yesterday BainsBane Jan 2014 #23

He got FOUR yesterday? He must have said something perceptive to piss them off so much. Squinch Jan 2014 #26

Alerter almost lost their alerting privileges for 24 hours. Some excellent jury comments, thanks Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #90

Some astute jurors there. redqueen Jan 2014 #93

Why thank you very much, RQ. KitSileya Jan 2014 #101

thanks for sending me the results ... Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #113

didn't know that had been alerted.... BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #98

It amazes me what people alert on around here. When I see a post like that has been alerted on Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #114

LOL!!!! BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #115

Yep. A-Schwarzenegger Jan 2014 #12

Someone posted a list of MRA debate tactics, which give excellent examples of this. redqueen Jan 2014 #17

huh! I would love to see that post! BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #20

Found it! redqueen Jan 2014 #22

thanks redqueen. BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #56

It's another example of why I love tumblr. redqueen Jan 2014 #94

i may need to acquaint myself with this tumbler you speak of. BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #99

Well if you do, be forewarned, the feminism and related tags are trolled HARD. redqueen Jan 2014 #102

I really like Tumblr, too. Sheldon Cooper Jan 2014 #104

thanks! BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #108

So true. You nailed it. nt SunSeeker Jan 2014 #18

we need to train ourselves to reply to the game, BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #21

Yes, but it's so hard to ignore that sexist bullshit, especially when you see it here. SunSeeker Jan 2014 #40

I have most on ignore (so I can't see the conversations where intaglio got ignored.) Squinch Jan 2014 #41

oh i dont *necessarily* mean avoid arguing with them.... BlancheSplanchnik Jan 2014 #47

Why would you feel compelled to come in here to say that? BainsBane Jan 2014 #30

pardon me for being clueless but DonCoquixote Jan 2014 #28

Both have more than five hides BainsBane Jan 2014 #29

I'm afraid I don't know Ingatlio - but I'm hoping Seabeyond makes it back el_bryanto Jan 2014 #31

They are on his transparency page BainsBane Jan 2014 #36

Oh, right. It's late. I wasn't thinking. I'll self delete that. Thanks. Squinch Jan 2014 #38

You can get to them all from intaglio's profile page: petronius Jan 2014 #37

du rec Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #42

I would add trumad ... but, maybe ... that's just me. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #45

I'm with you on that! Squinch Jan 2014 #46

trumads journey is a testimony to how well DU can work. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #48

I don't think I knew him before, but I have liked many of his recent posts. Squinch Jan 2014 #83

good idea! BainsBane Jan 2014 #49

Looking good, now Baines!! Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #51

Agreed! hrmjustin Jan 2014 #53

What happened to trumad?? kestrel91316 Jan 2014 #50

Same thing BainsBane Jan 2014 #52

K&R UtahLib Jan 2014 #54

I'd like to see a modification to the alert procedures BainsBane Jan 2014 #55

I agree that DU would benefit by a major overhaul UtahLib Jan 2014 #57

Many make clear that they judge based on who they like BainsBane Jan 2014 #58

Wow UtahLib Jan 2014 #59

It's clear in the comments BainsBane Jan 2014 #60

Are you familiar with the Jury Blacklist? Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #64

I am familiar with the blacklist option. UtahLib Jan 2014 #96

But any "obvious animosity" can be addressed by using the jury blacklist (nt) Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #97

I don't think the jury blacklist is the end all solution. UtahLib Jan 2014 #100

That's exactly it. And until then the jury system is a fail. n/t seaglass Jan 2014 #103

Maybe it's a fail because UtahLib Jan 2014 #105

I don't see it as being fixable. It is seen as unfair and when people feel they have been seaglass Jan 2014 #106

I agree, being concerned with fairness may not be the ruling concern for some people. n/t UtahLib Jan 2014 #107

What abuse? Vashta Nerada Jan 2014 #111

Meh. JTFrog Jan 2014 #116

Attack? Vashta Nerada Jan 2014 #117

This isn't the place for your little rant. JTFrog Jan 2014 #118

Jury Results: X_Digger Jan 2014 #120

No one in this subthread said anything about a conspiracy. Perhaps you are directing your seaglass Jan 2014 #119

when can Seabeyond come back to post? CTyankee Jan 2014 #62

Not everyone misses the anger and nastiness aof at elast two of these folks. HERVEPA Jan 2014 #65

And you felt compelled to enter this safe haven BainsBane Jan 2014 #66

And how is a discussion declared a safe haven? HERVEPA Jan 2014 #67

the GROUP is a safe haven, not this particular discussion thread. Scout Jan 2014 #69

Sorry, came in from Ask the Admin and didn't realize the group. My apologies. HERVEPA Jan 2014 #72

Do you know which ATA post he is referring to? BainsBane Jan 2014 #75

here, I suspect lumberjack_jeff Jan 2014 #78

sorry, i don't. n/t Scout Jan 2014 #79

When it is in a protected group BainsBane Jan 2014 #70

I imagine that pointing out obvious realities may often be seen as anger... LanternWaste Jan 2014 #73

Well, you really know little of my beliefs on feminism, do you? HERVEPA Jan 2014 #74

Yes, everyone keeps telling us BainsBane Jan 2014 #80

That post/poll in my opinion was ground that had been covered many times. HERVEPA Jan 2014 #81

So where exactly is the committee to whom I am supposed to submit BainsBane Jan 2014 #85

I merely contrasted six of one and half a dozen of the other LanternWaste Jan 2014 #82

I miss them too. cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #68

Three months for intaglio BainsBane Jan 2014 #71

Way too long cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #76

What is a microaggression? nt hack89 Jan 2014 #86

Something deliberately offensive or mean-spirited which toes the line just enough to not be noticed nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #87

Sounds like a typical DU thread hack89 Jan 2014 #88

No argument from me. And it's sad, when most of us probably agree on 90% of the basics. n/t nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #89

I like this website's explanation: cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #91

this part is especially noted in regards to DU3 = Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2014 #110

Definitely that part! cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #112
