Journal snowgirl's Journal: More BillDog, less RailGunner 28
I want more people like BillDog to have the perspective, and voice of the right. People like RailGunner take the rhetoric up to 11, and it drowns out all the sanity of their arguments.
At least BillDog is willing to sit down discuss things rationally, understand your point of view... and then dismiss you as evil. (Kidding, slightly... ok, I'm joshing with a bit of fact, and a bit of fiction.)

It is odd though, that you don't seem to have a problem with being an asshole... of course, that's because you're so arrogant as to believe that you're right and no one can possibly prove you wrong, right?

Why yes, I can.
Take abortion. Have you ever really thought about why you support abortion, or were you trapped by the "my body my choice" soundbite?
Because thousands of women died while abortions were illegal, because they were determined to get an abortion no matter what, and got risky and dangerous abortions that resulted in their death.
If you are an abortion because you're a feminist, what about the female children murdered via abortion in China and India?
Selective abortion to ensure a male heir is wrong, but I wouldn't make it illegal, because that will just result in the deaths of women determined to get one.

My wife and I didn't have a child until we were ready. We always used protection and furthermore, we *abstained from sex* when she was most fertile by monitoring her ovulations.
Good job on using protection when you had sex... you know, contraceptive education, and Planned Parenthood in specific do actually teach abstinence, right?
The difference is that they teach people what to do if you've decided to break ones abstinence.
I think that option is much more appropriate than saying, "don't have sex, and if you do, you're getting a disease, dying, and the girl is getting pregnant."

You could say that, yes. Although Weird Al is a true parodist, and I wouldn't insult Weird Al by suggesting this guy belongs in the same class (if Weird Al scores a 10 on the humor scale, this guy pulls about 1.5 on a really good day), I think it is generally more fair to call this guy a troll.

Why might I want to be updated on a troll's journal entries you might ask? Because they seem to often come out on otherwise dull days for me at work, and they often make me laugh when I imagine someone trying to actually express those opinions with a straight face (which sadly doesn't seem to be him primary aim) !
His rhetoric is the same as the people that make me want to puke... sure they're funny for like half a minute, but then their glaring misinformation starts pissing me off, and then I get into horrible gut wrenching arguments with them... the kind where you dread even refreshing your comment list, because all you're going to do is see more idiot rhetoric.
Oh, and congratulations on being mentioned directly in one of his journal entries. He didn't do that with me until shortly before I came to realize he's as phony as a three dollar bill; hence it looks like caught his attention more quickly.
This is like congratulating me that my cancer is spreading faster than yours. I would rather not have another stupid bat-shit right-wing nut to deal with.

Sometimes it helps to remember that he is fully aware that he is providing misinformation. He knows that the special brand of logic he presents holds less water than a screen door. He's getting laughs out of making the conservative cause look so absurd. You can opt to play along, or you can opt to ignore him.

I don't think you're reading his replies correctly if the discussions with him end up "gut wrenching". Perhaps "vomit inducing" might be reasonable, but I think you might be playing incorrectly if

Perhaps it is time for you to step away from the fake for a while, then. While he will eventually delete his journal entries, his comments will remain (as well as the comments he posts in the journal entries that he will delete). So if the game with him isn't fun for you now, you can always come back to it later and get a laugh.
That's pretty much how I operate anymore. I know I can't take a lot of the BS, so I just kind of push it away for awhile... I have to have it in small doses, or my "allergies" flair up.
Nothing about the person and their rhetoric is harmful to me, it just causes an autoimmune response, with my mind flying into a tizzy over it for no good reason.

a parodist
A good parodist will make a parody to amuse others. This guy, however, makes a parody to amuse himself. From his point of view, amusing others is just a happy side effect, and if it happens not at all then oh well. He fits well within the slashdot definition of troll [slashdot.org]:
A Troll might mix up vital facts or otherwise distort reality, to make other readers react with helpful "corrections." Trolling is the online equivalent of intentionally dialing wrong numbers just to waste other people's time.

I certainly don't recall such a discussion (no discussion with you is ever worthy of being called a "debate") resulting in anything resembling a "victory" for you.

Always remember that "incendiary rhetoric" is a non issue when compared to the response. Ultimately that's all that matters. The best response to a charismatic is to turn your back. If they have your attention at all, they have you. Trying to "take him out" will only result in a replacement. You have to confront the irrationality directly. Focus on the followers.
