I think it's probably helpful for regular contributors here to be reminded of a nice feature on this site.

If you look over to the left of any post, there's a bit of info about the person who posted it. There's a photo, or a silhouette figure if the member hasn't posted it; below that is the member's level-status, or whatever it's called, ranging from "New Member" up to "Senior Member" (and maybe beyond, but I'm not sure if I want to know what happens to us after we're seniors).

And below THAT is a little "word balloon" signifying "posts" - with a number, that number being the number of posts the user has made.

You can also click on that person's name, or their photo/silhouette, and pull up their membership page on this site, seeing when they joined, as well as a history of much of their activity on the site. If they've filled in information it will also show things like location, HIV status, and a whole lot more.

So when looking at someone who's a brand-new member, who joined within the last week, only has four posts (all in the forum you're in), all of which are substantially more right-wing than even the median member of this site, the odds are, shall we say, greater than average that he's a garden-variety shit-posting Trumpanzee troll, seeking attention the only way he knows how - by shitting on everything until someone calls him on it.

btw - what kind of site is that?  I tried to google it when this whole brou-ha-ha blew up, but all I saw were some women, in not-at-all "sexy" photos.  

OnlyFans is a site where people broadcast  their amateur pornography - some of it with higher production values than your average iPhone captured video - and monetize access to it by selling subscriptions to their “fans”. It’s rather difficult to imagine a legitimate application of it that would justify an expenditure of campaign funds. Or, indeed, any innocent way for a politician to explain having an account there that anyone would believe for two seconds.

Honestly, the thing I can’t fathom is why anyone with that may skeletons in his closet would think of running for political office, when one’s political enemies will dig up the foundations of the earth to find (and twist) any conceivable secret one may have - and everyone has a secret of some kind. Even if I were insane enough to think of entering politics, I would never do it; for one thing, I’ve got 4,000 posts on Breedingzone describing in detail how I let men fuck me in the cunt, and like it, and the internet being what it is, it would take approximately 1.4 minutes for some determined fucker who wished me ill to connect this profile with my real-life identity, and then every positive aspect of my character, every good and worthy thing I’ve ever done, would count for shit. (It would be a grave mistake for them; if you want to keep your information concealed, never piss off someone with a degree in Information Science.)

So uh, anyway, Erroswhatever - Trump supporters were/are afraid of Islam

But yourself... and all the others just like you, haven't yet actually specified what you fear will happen if you let one of my posts go without getting "the last word" or ridiculing me by clicking a "downvote". 

You're afraid it'll somehow make you even balder and more wrinkly? I dunno, tell us!

Just as a point of interest, I have a particularly full head of hair, just like my father, and my grandfather, who died without a bald spot on him.

But let’s deconstruct your little tirade, which you seem to have modeled after the style of your hero, a many, many times-proven liar and demagogue, whom his own sister claimed has “no principles, none.”

You begin by treating my name with disrespect, acting as though it were somehow forgettable, demonstrating only that you know perfectly well what it is - in fact, it’s in print right in front of you. Therefore, if you can’t remember what it is or how to spell it with it right before your eyes, writing what you did merely reveals you to everyone reading as a buffoon and/or an idiot.

Your next comment is absolutely true: “Trump supporters were/are afraid”. You’re quite right. The one thing that most defines Trump supporters is that they’re afraid. Not just of Islam (proving only that they simply fear what they don’t understand, and that covers a vast amount of ground) - they’re afraid of most anything one might care to name. It’s why they flock to a blustering, loudmouth bully who talks about fighting for them. Alas, another thing they fail to understand that no one is more deeply terrified inside than a bully. Donald Trump is a very, very frightened man, and like many small, frightened animals in nature, the only defense he has is to puff himself up, make a lot of noise, and try to look as big as he can. What more proof do you need than the puffery on the top of his head? (Your ‘zinger’ about baldness is hilarious, considering.)

The one thing you omit about that statement, however, is “We”. “We Trump supporters”. You failed to include yourself, and you obviously are, in every syllable you write, just as frightened, just as desperate.

The remainder of your post is typical, tiresome, pointless defensive deflection. You actually have nothing of substance to say (you haven’t had from the moment you opened your account) so you instead choose to cry and complain about your self-inflicted downvotes and the critical replies you’ve all but begged for.

Tell us, do you make a habit of traipsing into rooms full of strangers, spouting off your inane personal opinions at random, and then slinging juvenile insults at anyone who disagrees with you? And do you have either the gall or the stupidity to be surprised when they take offense? Did no one teach you how to behave in public among adults at all?

You are embarrassing yourself. Please be so good as to leave.

Insofar as the rules of this site permit it, you're always free to re-use anything I post 🙂

I can, and will be, the very definition of discretion.  I know, difficult to believe, since I seldom hold my 10 "tongues" on the keyboard here on BZ.  That said, Hair Fuhrer is great, but Trumpanzee "trumps" even that allusion to the ridiculous Pompadour.  

I'm still laughing ....

Love when these posts in the 'LGBT Politics' forums somehow turn into anti-Christian, anti-Trump, anti-critical thinking. 👍😀

Paul Pressler from Texas is his mentor.
 

It’s been said that Mr. Pressler was a man with certain proclivities for young men and boys in his church and his office.

Assuming you're alluding to critical thinking regarding Organized Religion, we're in agreement.  

Also assuming you're alluding to politicians with positive agendas, ideas on how to alleviate the problems of the day through actual legislative proposals, again we're in agreement. 

That said, if you're alluding to one particular man offering nothing in the way of proposals to better the nation, offering only "retribution", repression, lies and deceit, we'll have to shake hands and part ways.  That would apply across the board, since without any shred of "thinking" - critical or not - the nation advances not one inch, and only regresses.  

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

“Paul Pressler’s position as a teacher was eliminated immediately. His role as a deacon was lowered to the lowest stature possible as a deacon. And he was eliminated from any committees of the church.”

It's nothing new.  There have been clergy of every kind and description in the same boat since forever.  Once a gay cleric gets caught being true to his nature, and celebrating his human-ness with other similarly-inclined guys, it's crickets from the Institution, until some final adjudication as quoted above.  

Apparently, the Ancient Enemy (O.R.) doesn't mind until the gay cleric is exposed, the dough starts to dry up, and then there's hell to pay.  From the strictest, most Liturgical to the most free-form, non-liturgical churches - it's always the same old story.

Thanks, MeatSword95, for posting that interesting link.

That's a really long post you authored there, to an unimportant member of the "minority" of Trump supporters who were sent to the dustbin of history over 3 years ago now!

So anyway nowhere in your post did you actually say Islam is not scary.

You just said Trump supporters were "scared of everything". That's a completely clichéd routine that absolutely pseudointellectual 11-year-old can do after watching their first ever episode of Colbert, and logging on to the internet. 

"heh *Pushes glasses up nose* You're like... heh! *pushes glasses up nose* so fearful! Heh!
*spends a few more weeks pushing glasses up nose while saying "heh!" in an extremely nasal voice.*

Like that woman says in the movie Kingpin "your act is about as a Foghat concert"...

Tell me in your next post Islam is not scary. Go ahead. Tell you me you hang out with Muslims all the time. 

BTW, DorkingNeedsTobeHitWitha2x4 has started the familiar process of silencing me, because you're both scared of a poster who's 4000 miles away.  That's what you're scared of. So...you won't be able to send any more of your 7,000 page love letters to me any more.

If you’re familiar with it, it must be because you behave this badly everywhere you go, and are incapable of learning from your mistakes. You are more to be scorned than pitied.

And, a death threat to a moderator, from someone who himself just said we shouldn’t be scared of because he’s just a nobody poster from 4,000 miles away? Comedy gold.

Not just "everywhere [he] go[es]" but most likely this is his admission that he's had an account here, got banned, and is back with a new name.

What's especially funny is how worked up some twit from 4,000 miles away gets over an elected official in another country that I'm guessing he's never visited. Right-wing trolls gotta troll, no matter where they are.

parts of Islam can be scary just as parts of Judaism. Some object to the seemingly exclusive parts of Christianity, and find it offensive and even violent spiritually.  Of course, most jews, muslims, christians and westerners consider their religion most peaceful. 

Why do u think that people who oppose Trump:  his autocracy, anti democratic tendencies, lie, demagoguery, racism, financial fraudulence etc. — don't oppose Islam and parts of its culture that are anti-modern and against freedoms of the world. They are less likely to be vocal about it, simply out of politeness since Islam is a non western religion and they don't know everything about it and want to avoid criticizing it unfairly and wrongly?

Well said, brnbk. 

When some folks criticize issues they don't fully understand, going on in meandering thought-fragments, they only demean themselves.  Far better to ask for more information politely, and learn more about something rather than becoming a pedant. 

Most of those born into/raised in the Western religions know rather little about Islam, or other Eastern faith traditions.  It's only those who actually are curious, and make it a point to learn about traditions other than our own.  It's "baked in" to the deficit of intellectual understanding, curiosity about other faith-traditions, other cultures, other ways-of-life. 

While it's a pleasure to poke at insincere public figures, they have entered the public sphere to spew their lies, so they shouldn't be surprised when others point out the "financial flatulence", etcetera, and criticize the liars.  

That said, manners always count, regardless of the issue at hand. 

Thanks for the post.
