From now on everything I post in GD will be exclusively provocative and contrary

[jpgray]

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?

1. I have faith.

[jpgray]

2. I have guile.

I think in combination that means you will give me some of your money? :shrug:

5. Isn't he the dude with the flat top from Street Fighter 2?

[jpgray]

6. Sonic boom!

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Word.

[Droopy]

3. I usually don't even bother with the political forums, jp

I read them from time to time, but rarely post in them. The way I figure it, we are all going to vote for Obama. Mission fucking accomplished. I'd rather talk to you guys about trucking or mental illness or Metallica. And BEER! I really don't want to argue with you guys.

[jpgray]

4. What beer do you drink? The answer may well concern me.

[Droopy]

8. Right now I've got some Michelob Lager in the fridge

In the past couple of months there's been Heineken, Shiner Bock, Stella Artois, and Icehouse.

9. Your wish is granted.

Go and sin some more.

10. Your concern is noted, Bucko

:)

11. That seems to be a pretty popular way to go.

If you really want flamewars, what you need to do is become the go-to champion of a particularly controversial cause.

12. Be Sure To Capitalize Every Word In The Title To Lend It Some Intellecutal Weight

which will be glaringly omitted in the body of the OP, pal.

also, claim to win every arguement, and be sure mention how ignorant everybody who fails agrees with you is, and how you feel for them.

13. In other words, you're not changing a thing?

:P

14. Well, really, what else can you do?
