Let me no homo this in advance but I sure as hell hope so.  Goes without saying that incidental contact must be kept to a minimum.

I would have, but I've learned the time spent trying to educate Trumptards is wasted time. Having a working knowledge of the capitol grounds helps

Please.

You don't educate people because you ignore any post that challenges you or is supported with facts.

We've seen that pattern for a while now.

You know what "nice" got us? A dead cop and an insurrection. Time to stop coddling these unpatriotic Trump Q Russian trolls.

You have a point. Being nice is very difficult. At times, it seems impossible. Instinctively, I suspect, we humans are programmed to fight more than we are to find mutual solutions to the problems and differences between us. Mankind's long history is proof of this.

These unpatriotic Trump Q Russian Trolls you speak of are mostly just people like anyone else. All of who have different perspectives of and motives for solving the woes of the world. Who is to say which of us has the ultimate answer? What is more, there isn't just one  answer but many.

It is just my personal opinion, but I don't think "nice' is what got us to this point. I firmly believe it is our antagonism, greed, ego and mostly the quest for power that eventually brings us down.

Coach saying someone doesn't have knowledge is laughable.  And "prove it"... like he has proven his claims of the stolen election, pizza gate, Hillary going to jail, fake birth certificate, etc...

I don't think about getbig at night.

It's just a pattern you've exhibited frequently.

You have even started threads, and ignored responses of posters trying to genuinely answer the questions.

You're pretty much Howard at this point.

You know what "nice" got the rest of us? Months of law enforcement supported blm and antifa riots, billions in destruction, countless deaths and assaults at the hands of your people. And here you are crying over one dead cop. If your cowardly coworkers would have done their jobs, maybe a lot of this could have been avoided.

Snopes Suspends Co-Founder For Mass Plagiarism, Staff Revolts

The last time Snopes Co-Founder David Mikkelson made headlines, he'd allegedly embezzled $98,000, dropped weight, left his health-challenged co-founder wife, and married an actual whore.

Five years later, and Mikkelson's just been suspended by Snopes after BuzzFeed uncovered massive plagiarism - including instructing other Snopes writers to 'cut-and-paste' mainstream breaking news stories without attribution, and then alter them after the fact.

In total, Mikkelson 'wrote and published 54 articles with plagiarized material,' under his own name as well as a pseudonym, and the Snopes byline. In addition, an internal review by the 'fact-checking' company identified 140 articles with possible problems.

Snopes VP of Editorial and Managing Editor Doreen Marchionni suspended Mikkelson from editorial duties pending “a comprehensive internal investigation.” He remains an officer and a 50% shareholder of the company.

“Our internal research so far has found a total of 54 stories Mikkelson published that used appropriated material, including all of the stories Buzzfeed shared with us,” Marchionni and Snopes Chief Operating Officer Vinny Green said in a statement.

"Let us be clear: Plagiarism undermines our mission and values, full stop," Marchionni added [ZH: and then not full-stopping]. "It has no place in any context within this organization." -BuzzFeed


Former Snopes managing editor Brook Binkowski told BuzzFeed: "He used to write about topics he knew would get him hate mail under that assumed name. Plus it made it appear he had more staff than he had."

"He would instruct us to copy text from other sites, post them verbatim so that it looked like we were fast and could scoop up traffic, and then change the story in real time. I hated it and wouldn't tell any of the staff to do it, but he did it all the time," she added.

In one Slack message from January 2016, Mikkelson detailed his strategy for copying and then quickly rewriting articles after publishing. “Usually when a hot real news story breaks (such as a celebrity death), I just find a wire service or other news story about it and publish it on the site verbatim to quickly get a page up. Once that’s done, then I quickly start editing the page to reword it and add material from other sources to make it not plagiarized,” he wrote.

In two emails from 2014 and 2015, Mikkelson told staff to “pop over to one of our competitor sites (urbanlegends.com or hoaxslayer.com), pick something out that they’ve recently published that we haven’t covered,” and "rewrite it just enough to avoid copyright infringement." -BuzzFeed


According to two other former employees, "taking credit for other people's work" was "part of his model." Mikkelson's excuse? He's not a trained journalist.
