From now on everything I post in GD will be exclusively provocative and contrary
Advertisements [?]
I will eke out a torturous "middle ground" on every issue, voicing in gentle terms my concern over the impact of GOP attack narratives. I will tie myself in rhetorical knots to uncover the black cloud behind every silver lining. Moreover, I must constantly police the discussion on DU as though the board represents a major influence on the mainstream political debate, wherein every "reckless" or speculative post is a possible "game-changer." If my dire predictions of harm and danger to the Obama campaign prove false in any instance, I will twist away from my position and shift my ground, arguing the new set of circumstances is just as dangerous and worthy of caution as was the previous situation.

Most of all, I want replies. You know how when the stacked replies of an intra-thread flamewar reach a certain fever pitch and become a scary column of vitriol? That's what I want.

Will it work, do you think?
