Typical troll. Insult the senders -- "petit-bourgeois" is usually considered an insult -- and spout some buzz words but don't answer any arguments. Troll, you've just joined my kill file. (Yup, I've got one for Vortex; only one or two other folks in it, and none of them are currently regular posters.) Grok's posts are all noise, no content. If arguments were presented by Grok, his posts might be interesting; there is a lot to be said on the side of socialism. But Grok posts no arguments. Perhaps Grok doesn't know the arguments in favor of socialism. (Of course, such arguments are entirely off-topic for Vortex so I'm not going to start down that path.) Be that as it may, Grok is a troll, pure and simple: A troll sends easy to produce messages with provocative claims and no reasoned arguments in an effort to get a rise out of people. It's very easy to do, because leaving out the reasoned arguments means the emails can be churned out without thought, care, or much of anything else. The folks who are "hooked", on the other hand, typically waste large amounts of time coming up with reasoned arguments to refute the unreasoned and unsupported statements spouted by the troll. It's a situation where the reasoning people lose big. The fish works very hard to catch up with the lure which is being dragged through the water on the line put out by the fisherman who is sitting on a boat trolling... and the fish never can win. *plonk* > > Stick to tinkering in your garages, guys.
