A special kind of trolls
Lately we've been gaining a lot of subscribers here. That's awesome.
However, some of those subscribers come here with less-than-honest intentions, hoping to stir up false controversy and cause infighting. I'm sure you have noticed them already.
I'm going to share a few pearls of shitsdom to exemplify what I'm talking about, together with explanations of what the links mean:
- "Spreading FUD is perfectly acceptable": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r9oco/im_confused_about_the_universallypreferable/c44844q?context=3
- "But, of course, when people other than me trick other people, that's wroooooong": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c446l7m?context=3 (nice duplicitous hypocrisy there)
- "It's also perfectly acceptable to engage in sloppy deduction to support slanderous accusations": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c447clc?context=3
- "If my beliefs prevent me from accepting an argument, that means the argument must necessarily be an appeal to emotion": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c44799n?context=3 -- take 2: http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c44728c?context=3
- And, of course, "if all else fails, I'll just smear people I disagree with, with the baseless, evidenceless accusation of being cult leaders": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c43zgn8?context=3
- "When I am asked to back my accusations up with facts, I will deflect and evade answering": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c443ior?context=2
- "Mass murderers were really convinced they were being morally righteous, so obviously no one can rationally differentiate right from wrong": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r9oco/im_confused_about_the_universallypreferable/c4498pj?context=3
- "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?": http://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/r94i2/looking_for_good_critiques_of_deontological_ethics/c449fbi?context=3
I will keep bringing more in-depth information on an ongoing basis, as I detect more patterns of deceptive and dishonest behavior among us. This is the kind of shit that, unchecked, will destroy our community.
