I love the smell of burning trolls in the gloaming.

Kirk—on behalf of all the mods, let me just say:

Bring It On

Ditto.

Bring It On

kirk — thanks for your great posts, and i’ve always gotcher back when the rudies slip in. i’m sure like any front-pager, you’d welcome a vigorous debate about the actualities; i wanted to be sure folks understood that we simply don’t permit the kind of rudeness your attacker exhibited.

for anyone hoping for a real engagement on the issues, the rudie’s approach was entirely counterproductive, i thought.

Thank you, Teddy.

You have really moved me.

(Not enough to dislodge the current lap kitty, fortunately)

Discussions of food safety and GMOs really bring out the rudies – I’m grateful you are here.

I’m expecting to see alot of the “B-Z” spin as we discuss food safety and GMOs.

We’ll discuss “A”

{Today’s A: GMO soy kills 55% of baby rats in three weeks.]

There will be genuine and spirited discussion of A. Great.

But there will also be the B-Z trolls.

Raise a different scientific topic by way of a loaded or random question – insist on the answer to topic “B”.

Repeat and increase volume and invective.

Go from B to Z.

Anything to drown out A.

Apologies to the mods and all at the Lake for the extra bother from writing about Big Ag, Big Food, and GMOs.

Whenever we’re discussing an “A” really threatening to Big Mutant Food, we’ll get deluged with “b-Z”.

B to Z.

Reminds me of B-M

Burston-Marsteller.

If not their account, their playbook.

B to Z. THey’ll sing, they’ll dance, they’ll pie fight.

Whatever it takes to drown out A.

for anyone hoping for a real engagement on the issues, the rudie’s approach was entirely counterproductive, i thought.

That inspired me to drink Southern Comfort-one time only!

Sorry
