-
Throws in some clever chomsky sounding Ignoratio elenchi aka the "Chewbacca defense" defending something that has nothing to do with topic at hand. While it all sounds sensible, everyone is still left scratching their heads when they hear, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!" -

Agrees with above poster, and thanks him, starts a new discussion unrelated to this sub discussion that is unrelated to any of it.

-
Insults religions, religious people and any though originating by a "faithful person."

-
Reports the use of profanity.
-
Attempts to misdirect profanity comment with, Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this addressing the profanity claim? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this claim! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm an innocent poster defending a profane comment, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, while you're in this thread deliberatin' and conjugatin' this so called "Profanity," [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed thread, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Comments on new meaning of words instead of the original intended meaning and starts talking about britney with great passion.
EDIT: realizes poster edited his post which made current post seem senseless, so edits own post to reflect the changes. -
Since poster doesn't understand this reference, assumes it supports his claims and states "Exactly!"
-
Exactly. "Who is talking about hate? Who is talking about judging Britney? Who is "hiding" behind the bible? Who is talking about deciding how others live?"
-
tries to re-edit post (again) to make morgantj look stupid despite his admirably quick edits, but is one second too late to click on edit, curses out loud, then leaves thread with no intention of coming back to view replies and therefore wins the argument!

Tells those living below 49th parellel how government should operate in their country
-
Based on the experience of having lived in three different American States a member from above the 49th parallel chooses to express an opinion on American politics.

-
-
makes fallacious statements about supposed party affiliation of other members based on isolated discussion topics
