A moderator of a site received hatred from a troll while on vacation.
She and her family also got bullied in person by people who were connected with them on social media just for being conservative. This makes the whole "anti-bullying" cause nothing but a left-wing sham. A polarizing identity politics agenda designed to intimidate or shame certain people into submission or silence.
👿Tara: Looks like the same old ignorant racist sheeple $h|t to me!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: To throw your own words back at you, "looks like the same old ignorant racist sheeple crapola to me." Yeah, apply those descriptions much closer to home, Tara, look in the mirror. Because only ignorant sheeple go around hurling malicious false accusations of "RACIST!" at people who are conservative, not racist. Yes, Tara, there is a big difference!
👿Tara: You know a cooter is a c**t, right?
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You know you have a disgusting troll mind too ignorant to realize the site has nothing at all to do with porn trash. Typical troll trying to bollox up a site name in a pervy way, same thing trolls like to do with people's names or internet handles.
Example: "HappyHippy" being changed to "HumpyHippy" when a troll replies to a post by HappyHippy.
You think your pathetic joke is hilarious?
It sucks!
And it makes you a typically stupid troll.
👿Tara: Just happened upon your lame website and felt the need to let you know it sucks.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Don't expect anyone to curl up and die from grievous injury over your insignificant opinion. You're just an opener for an article about liberal intolerance. In addition, you're a good example of a troll on the left, since they are always trying to con fence-sitters into thinking trolling is a right-wing problem... Thanks for putting yourself out there as an example proving otherwise, Tara.
👿Tara: Have a great day.
Tara
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, I am, Tara, thanks for adding to the loser section of this site!
👿Tara: No, I didn’t vote for Hillary.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Right, you probably didn't vote, period.
👿Tara: Yes, I own lots of guns.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Toy guns, or... The idea of a troll owning a real gun is a bit concerning...
👿Tara: No, I don’t take pictures of myself with them. And Flare the NRA!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Okay, fine. You just claim to screw the NRA, no pictures. Right. You walked right into that one, Tara.
Here is the response, and it is not just about this one troll.
It's an article about what it is like to be bullied and discriminated against, in a society that increasingly condones this abuse. People are getting de-friended on social networks, confronted in public and verbally abused and shunned for not being sheeple.
And it is not the first or last incident.
People aren't just dumping their friends for memes, now they are dumping them for a certain political view.
This is vile.
Here is some of the discussion. Pay special attention to the first four.
🆔cheryl
🔆Have been "unfriended" by leftist niece, even daughter for awhile, and many other "friends" because of my conservative beliefs..... have NEVER ever "unfriended" anyone because of their leftist beliefs. ALL the hate, rudeness and violence I have witnessed has been from the left.
🆔Rock
🔆I've always had issues with people who didn't align with me politically for many types of relationships. But now, with Trump? I've had cousins cut off all ties with me, friends since college block my number and remove me from Facebook, and have been kicked out of a meetup that had absolutely nothing to do with politics (it was for graphic design).
Point being, you ladies are not alone. Many of us get the same $h|t too.
🆔karen2112
🔆It isn't just their political party, it's their religion.
🆔rmp2001 ➡️ karen2112
🔆SO true! It's orthodoxy.
🆔TheAmerican
If all my friends were in lockstep with me ideologically, I'd be living in a pretty boring world.
Personally, I like to hear opinions that are different than my own. Call me crazy, but I think that helps me learn and analyze my own belief system.
Was this woman an actual adult? I could see having a rigid black/white view of things when you're a teen or a young adult, but a full-fledged adult? Come on, lady. Grow up and grasp that a person's political stance doesn't fully define who he or she is.
🆔Mockarena Mod ➡️ TheAmerican
Not only was she an adult, I'd guess her to be in her 70s!
🆔TheAmerican ➡️ Mockarena
Ah! You shan't be winning grandma over, then.
🆔Dinah54 ➡️ TheAmerican
🔆All of my friends and I are pretty much on the same page. My world is far from boring.
lorgir
🔆I haven't encountered anyone like your hew neighbor, Mock---mercifully. You were the bigger person, of course and the only way she can get others to hate you is to lie about you. The truth will come out soon enough. It's sad that this is what the world's come to. I'm happy you've met a lot more of the good ones, because I think that despite what social media and the MSM would have us believe, the ugly ones are a minority.
🆔Paralethal
🔆Dang, that sucks you went through that, Mock. Though I'm guessing you've dealt with worse, but still. And yes to the liberal elitism. There's an article that I read a couple years ago. I can't remember if I found it through you guys or someone else, but it was actually from a liberal who spoke about the whole liberal elitism thing and how liberals really need to knock it off. It was a fantastic article. Unfortunately, my liberal friends didn't think so very much. I can't find it right off the bat, but here are a couple that are pretty similar:
"The Culture of the Smug White Liberal"
"The Hypocrisy of the Liberal Elite"
"The Smug Style in American Liberalism" (actually, this may be the one I was thinking of)
🆔Smbland ➡️ Paralethal
🔆I have many friends who I think would be shocked to find my political leanings. These are people who I have known for many years and I really don’t think they would know how to react if I announced that I’m conservative. They simply cannot reconcile the fact that someone might have a different opinion in life and not be a terrible person. It’s mind blowing to me that they’re so narrow minded.
🆔Skeptical That's Me
🔆Yep, the oh so tolerant, intolerant left...... And the sad pathetic thing is they don't even realize it.
🆔rmp2001
Thanks for sharing. Yeah, it sucks, but you have to realize how deeply angry and hostile these people are. They're miserable AF!
⚠️🔅I'd tell her that I hope her husband can flare some sunshine into her, but that's just me ;-)
🆔Mr. Green
⚠️🔅Mock, I think that's the point where you slap on the MAGA hats, start blaring Kid Rock from the speakers, and hang an American flag above your lounge chairs.
At that point of trying your best to get along, you just gotta start playing being you and let the chips fall where they may.
🆔Whoknoweth ➡️ Mr. Green
🔆Oh, yeah, the "want to" is there for doing that, but no sense in alienating all of the other neighbors by being obnoxious. I kinda doubt this lovely lady is known as Miss Congeniality in that neighborhood.
🆔GrumpiestOldMan
🔆Mock...for too many leftists their politics is their god...the two things you don’t talk about...for them are one in the same: religion and politics. Sorry you had to go through that especially with family present
🆔Don Shipp
🔆I know what you're saying. It exercises your patience and your ability to get along with others, but there are some who simply will not get along with people, period. Identify them as the arrogant bullies that they are and interface with them only as necessary.
Not all hemorrhoids respond to Preparation-H.

🆔Tazmaniac ➡️ Don Shipp
🔆I was going to say with her attitude it screams that she is....THAT person on the HOA, the fascist. Goes hand in hand with Liberalism.
🆔FSE
⚠️🔅Liberal or not, the woman is an arsehole, and an arsehole is gonna arsehole.
🆔genetics73
⚠️🔅My only suggestion upon Mr. Mock being brought into the conversation would have been to introduce him as "the man who tells me how to vote." Of course, the allusion may have been wasted on that woman.
🆔VoteThemOut
🔆When the snowflakes attempt to validate their liberal psycho-babble by claiming they "did not vote for Hillary" you can bet they wanted to. Many never bothered to vote because the msm polls told them Hillary was going to win by a landslide, so they went back to updating their facebook page, instagram, only to be driven into an unjustified frenzy of targeted hatred (TDS), aimed at Trump admin & conservatives.
🆔Digger
🔆In my church we have three brothers who are pretty prominent in construction here in our town of 25K. Two brothers are fairly conservative, as is 70% of the community, and 70% of our church body. The third brother is a dyed in the wool liberal dem, who ran for the state legislature as a dem, lost big, and congress, lost embigger. I've been in the gym with him, when an Obama speech was on TV, and this guy was absolutely in worship mode of the false prophet Obama. He's also ardently prochoice in a county that has been abortion free since we got here in 1990. Now, the pastor will occasionally refer to political differences amongst the members, but you really never see or hear any of that around church. and, when we're at social stuff you never do. But, if I'm honest, I really have nothing for the liberal brother, although I'm very good friends with the other two. I never have, or would, say anything to him, but I just don't understand his thinking..and it was embarrassing watching watch that Obama speech...
🆔Tina
As a Yankee myself, I hang my head in shame. We aren't all rude liberal douches. People like her are why I left Facebook.
🆔Don Shipp ➡️ Tina
🔆After some travel in the military and with a long time employer, I noticed that politeness and rudeness are pretty well universal. Some of the greatest people I've ever met have been from the Midwest and the Northeast as well as my native South. Some of the greatest jerks I've ever met likewise have been from the South as well as the Midwest and the Northeast. So much for stereotypes.
Ain't nothing wrong with being a "Yankee," Tina. People are the same wherever you go, warts and all.

🆔Kathy
🔆Liberal tolerance. It's a beautiful thing.
🆔karbuildr
🔆I understand how you feel Mock.
The northeastern leftists ruined S. Florida, so now they're targeting SC. Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Columbia to a certain extent have leftists moving in at a rapid rate. And they're rude, ill mannered and downright obnoxious for the most part. Your good nature and friendliness certainly makes you the better person. I've been through a similar thing with these leftists. Bless their hearts.
🆔Kiran Devakar
⚠️🔅Well, that just sucks and I am sorry she was, frankly, a b|tch.
I just don't get that going out of your way to be rude to someone. If I met Alex Jones on the street, while the temptation to ⚠️🔅kick his testicles up through his nose would undoubtedly pass through my mind, in the end I would just walk away and not engage. What's the point?
Now, to be clear, I don't agree with much on this site, but you are all far, FAR away from Jones. I just chose him as an example of someone whom I KNOW I would disagree with politically.
I do disagree that the left is more apt to behave this way. I think it depends on where you are. I live in small blue dot in a very red state and 20 minutes outside of my wonderful little town, it is a very different world, politically. I've been on the other your end where the (man in this case) was telling me how horrible Clinton was and how great Trump is and how terrible of a person I am for supporting the left. And like you, this was out of the blue at a social gathering. I don't know, maybe I give of a "liberal" vibe..
People like her and the guy I dealt with are exactly why I don't put political bumper stickers on my car or wear a political shirt. Heck, I don't even put political signs in my yard.
Sorry she was unpleasant. The whole "husband defending you" thing would have definitely set me over the edge.
🆔Mr. Green ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
"I just don't get that going out of your way to be rude to someone."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
🔆You do it frequently on this website. And, not that others don't do it to you, as well, but......................................
.........PUH-LEASE!!!!!!
You are NOT one to talk!!!!!!!
Freaking hypocrite!!!!
🆔Kiran Devakar ↪️ Mr. Green
⚠️🔅I have never insulted or was rude to someone on this site who was not rude or insulting to me first. I figure if they start the exchange that way, it must be how they like to communicate.
Not one time.
Ever.
🆔Richard Harold Weatherfield ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
🔆Uh....yes, you were, and are.
🆔Kiran Devakar ↪️ Richard Harold Weatherfield
⚠️🔅Um, nope. Heck, Rich, this is probably the first comment you ever directed at me where you didn't call me some vulgar name.
Losing your touch?
🆔Richard Harold Weatherfield ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
🔆Um. Yep. You have. You've called people of faith science hating rubes, and you've belittled religion as "sky faerie magic" and other such derogatory terms. Don't act like your sh|t don't stink.
🆔Mr. Green ➡️ Richard Harold Weatherfield
It's as if Kiran has no memory of it's past comments.
Kiran is a liar, and a provable one. Provable right here and now.
Kiran should quit while Kiran can.
🆔Mr. Green ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
And a prime example of you being insulting. AGAIN!!!!!
Thanks for proving my point.
🆔Mr. Green ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
YOU dictate how you respond to people.
YOU decide how to reply to people.
YOU form and write your own comments.
YOUR choice.
YOU want to be rude and/or insulting, fine. Just don't go blaming YOUR comments that YOU write on someone else.
That is beyond childish and immature.
OWN YOUR OWN COMMENTS!!!

⚠️🔅Is what you daily spew.
🆔Mr. Green ⤵️ Kiran Devakar
🔆Doesn't matter. I clearly said "...not that others don't do it to you, as well, ..."
The fact remains, you are FREQUENTLY rude to people.
Your post comes across as very childish. "But Mommy............he/she was mean to me first!!!!!"
The fact remains, you FREQUENTLY go out of your way to be rude and insulting to people.
Don't go playing innocent, and don't be childish about it.

🔆When you next see her,lightly touch her on the arm and say " Bless your heart" which is a GREAT Southernism. It can mean SO many things that she may not know she's been slightly insulted.
🆔swampdrainer1965 ➡️ Al Kenny
Yes it is! My fiancee is from South Carolina and "Bless Your Heart" is a polite "F*ck You" down there.
🆔Terry Meagher
⚠️🔅You verge on being the National Enquirer of the right... you carry numerous stories that are both racist and offensive in nature... and you're really "surprised" when someone chooses to unfriend, or be rude to you? In all actuality, it would be more surprising if people DIDN'T treat you badly...
🆔Mockarena Mod ⤵️ Terry Meagher
🔆Not sure why you think I should tolerate any further comment from you after this completely pointless insult on my own site.
Are you related to our neighbor?
You're exactly the kind of elitist arrogant person I referred to in this post, and hilariously, you probably haven't the slightest idea.
Typical.

🔆When someone is rude to me, I remind myself they've made the choice to be rude, and I bid them a good day. If they want to spend their day spewing negativity, that is their privilege, but I see no reason to put up with it. And having inspected your Disqus history, well, good day.
🆔Karen Bull ⤵️ Terry Meagher
🔆Exactly how does someone's political view point give permission to someone to be rude or treat that person badly? In what world is that acceptable? Oh.....the liberal, elitist, progressive, unhinged world. I get it now.
🆔Dinah54 ⤵️ Terry Meagher
🔆People like you are why I have no desire to be friends with liberals. I would never be such an ass to them, but I see no need to befriend anyone whose fundamental beliefs and character are so different from anything I find acceptable. You are a pig.
