"If It Stinks, Let it Sink"

[Bonobo]

If a post is flamebait (ie without any merit and simply designed to get a rise out of people and smear a candidate), you should simple not respond.

By answering stupid troll-posts, you are just enabling those pathetic souls who have no plan other than that of personal destruction.

So, if it stinks, let it sink.

13. I really am disappointed that things have returned to the vitriolic level they were

previously.. plus, we reportedly have THE STRIKERS back tonight and they'll come back spamming like crazy. Altho, I haven't really seen much of a let up in spam.

14. You can fool them. But you have to freak out. Show emotion. Then they can't tell who's who. {EOM}

15. I'm basing my decision on Obama's 37 bowling score!

[Coexist]

16. I had an all-gutter ball game once.

I am still teased about it at family gatherings!

[Life Long Dem]

20. I can picture that! I was in the same situation as Obama once.

I didn't bowl for something like 20 years, and when I did bowl I felt I lost all my coordination. It was awful and the shoes didn't help at all. And I have good coordination.

[Coexist]

21. lol! Bowling shoes are the reason I quite bowling!

[Guava Jelly]

19. I have a better idea

"If the thread is Shit you must hide it"

[CreekDog]

22. I've rethought my earlier statement

instead of yup, i think yep is more appropriate.

[Bonobo]

23. I think you should have stuck with the "yup". Trust your first choice!
