Call that out! Report it. If they make it easy for us to see, we should sure call them out on it.

Judging from past experience, mods give zero shits and need you to "prove" they are a troll. Which I wouldn't imagine that proves. Have you had a different experience?

True, you might be right, but at least calling it out calls people like Jordon Lund to attention. I noticed after he caught flak from me, he started more directly challenging people like this poster. Maybe pointing out to him how this Socialist Berserker said similar but different things to one comment within minutes or even seconds of each other might just be the ammo they need to actually call a spade a spade. That said, if they don't, we have the receipts and we can point to them over and over again every time posters like this one spew this kind of malarkey. :)

Here's the receipts:

I'm not sure. Should I report my own post to get it in front of the moderator's eyes, or just keep these posts whenever we start talking about this poster.

Thanks for digging those up.

I will DM these images to him.
