Oh BS, some left loon screams Trump said it was safe and effective people have every right to counter Biden said you won't get Covid if you get the poison
The reason they scream Trump and redirect topical content toward a completely different topic is because they know people will bite.
And so you actually help them to take a given thread off topic by biting. You help them in their endeavor to shut down any meaningful discussion of the actual topical content and to instigate, yet again, another useless Biden vs Trump squabble.
Which often results in moving the thread out of view of casual passers-by in the public sections of the board after they've succeeded in baiting enough people to help them take a thread off-topic.
And that's really all they want to do.
A maude's not gonna go through and clean up a thread that's gone completely off-topic for dozens of pages. Who would?
If an entity has been endorsing the use of this technology for months and then a report like this comes out stating what they were actually doing with the data, which was contrary to the stated use of the data, of course the entity who has been promoting the use of this technology is gonna come along and basically say shut up..listen...Trump!
And then it's all downhill from there.
Why help them? To bite the bait and help them flip the topical content to something else by arguing against their terms instead of the actual topical content is basically co-conspiring with them in the end. There's a guh zillion other threads on here about what that guy wanted to turn this thread into. And there's a guh zillion other threads on what he wanted to flip the terms of controversy in this thread into likely as a result of the very same tactics to be honest.
The only way to stop it from happening so frequently is to nip it in the bud early in a thread.
