Part 2 – And then there are other kinds of trolls. Like Donna Sawyer from Windham

Donna SawyerYep, other kinds of trolls – back to Donna Sawyer from Windham NH. Again, it is not enough to have the discussions or arguments – they view us as “societal infidels” (just like militant Islam – just sideways) and must be silenced, put down, or destroyed.  Thus, her opening salvo about our affiliations and about “profits”. Yes, a SPECIAL kind of troll – one that sees herself as doing the [Progressive] Lord’s work, for any dissent from their orthodoxy cannot be tolerated (like  Windham School Board Approves Unconstitutional “BATHROOM BILL” Policy).  As I said before, the timing of the incoming trolls in the comment area and the timing of her email was exquisite.

So, I wrote back:

I generally believe that most people are smart – after all, you found them (being from MIT and all) so I believe others that cared such things would as well. And yes, we are independent.

After all, caveat emptor.

Short, sweet, and to the point.

After all, most Progressives believe that they are the smartest people in the room.  Sometimes they actually are but sometimes they aren’t.  Conservatives, on the the other hand, give people (even Progressives) the benefit of the doubt right from the get go.  GraniteGrok is not Amazon, it isn’t NetRightDaily, and I think (like smoking is bad for you and that wearing a seatbelt is good for you (even if here in NH, adults don’t have to just like they don’t have to wear motorcycle helmets).  Most people understand that we act as an eyeball-providing service from them.

Again, I think folks are smarter than what Donna Sawyer believes they are – typical of Progressive thought that “the masses must be led by the hand because they are incapable of figuring out stuff on their own”. Thus, her insistence that GraniteGrok, as a Conservative / Libertarian site, must bow to her considerable intellect (she is an MIT alum, after all – look at her email address) and her moral superiority by dint of her being a Progressive. Those poor “Consumers” haven’t a clue what is good for them, right?  I, as a Progressive, must come and rescue them from the vagarities of the capitalistic evil doers”; I guess the ‘Grok is part of that cabal and evil “profits”.

Caveat emptor – “buyer beware”.  It speaks of personal responsibilities, of doing one’s homework, of doing one’s research; the Conservative idea of “self-responsibility”.  But sadly, while Donna Sawyer believes in doing that herself  (and more in researching the ‘Grok), it is clear she believes others are too stupid to do the same.  That takes a SPECIAL kind of troll, doesn’t it?

So she slyly, smoothly, decided to ask about our affiliate statuses.

Maybe she should have a yak with Al Letizio and Dennis Senibaldi (also from Windham and tried to attack GraniteGrok). To be continued.
