There's this guy at a mailing list of former classmates of mine.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

He just keeps on posting long-debunked urban legends, political and nonpolitical alike. We keep slapping him with the facts but he keeps going on and on and on, forgetting the old bullshit and coming up with new bullshit.

He's also the most rabid RWer in the list. I maintain that is NOT a coincidence.

(And of course, urban legends that make the right look bad are never posted by this person.)

1. do you debunk him with snopes.com

and send the link to everyone on the list?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. Yes. Most of the time snopes.com does the trick.

And we never ever EVER see a followup with "oops, my bad, didn't know it wasn't true." Ever.

7. Has he claimed yet that Snopes is a liberally biased site?

I've actually seen people claim that. When the facts don't fit their agenda they try to bring the objectivity of the messenger into question. :eyes:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. No, he just acts as if the debunkings were never posted. (nt)

[Kire]

4. that doesn't work with some guys

I say shut down the list and start a new one. Invite everyone else but him.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

6. Can't do, not the owner.

And really, I don't want to. His continued making of a fool out of himself is actually gratifying.

2. "Reply All"

with humiliating debunking facts may not stop him, but it might get you off his list.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. It won't. I won't go in details, but it won't.

And I like it that way. :evilgrin:
