Maybe the tack to take (nautical, eh?) is a more extreme left rant.
Something so blatantly and specifically pro-communist that the D.U.ers either
reflexively jerk back to the right, or they take the bait and get sucked
into a whirlpool of substance-destitute Marxian thought. A guaranteed
laff-riot !
There were a couple times I posted quotes from D.U.ers on TFL that I found to
be hilarious references to rkba (D.U.ers: "but the right has all the guns -
how will our side win a civil war?"; me: "hey, some of them finally get it")
and I only figured out later that those D.U.ers were probably some of us acting
as disruptors, which I found even funnier. The disruptors who saw my
comments on TFL must have been howling with laughter.
Of course, the ultimate laugh was the hacker who hacked D.U. right
after the 2002 elections so that when anything on the site was clicked on, a
message popped up "all your senate are belong to us".
