Someone posted this on Facebook, but I think that it’s relevant here. It’s funny, but surprisingly accurate for a variety of internet political exchanges. How many behaviors can you identify? So far, I’ve come up with the following:

1. Teamism/Tribalism
2. Ad hominem attack
3. Confirmation bias

I've had to deal with a couple of spammers so far, and I've noticed that there are a lot of registered users that haven't posted anything. I don't know whether these are people who may be joining the conversation, or whether I'm about to be mega spammed.

If you aren't a spammer, I'd welcome a post from you in this thread.]]>

I turned on the required Captcha field for registration today because of spam problems. I was hoping to avoid doing that, but I was getting about one spammer a day. I also saw a flurry or recently registered users that haven't posted, but there are other things about their registration that look suspicious.

Let me know if you know of any problems or suggestions.]]>

Teamism runs rampant in most online political discussions. For many, the other side isn’t just wrong, but they are actually bad, stupid people. In that regard, the dreaded uninformed swing voters are sometimes less corrupted.

I’ve had a follow up article in the works for a very long time which addresses the mechanics of how intelligent people manage to let their logic skew awry in order to accommodate their preexisting beliefs. Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish that one before too long.

I’d be interesting in hearing any comments on the topic of ideological teamism.]]> Beware of Ideological Teamism. It’s also on my blog here.

This is an experimental forum to see if it’s possible to have polite, non-combative political discussions, while remaining productive and entertaining. Will the restrictions prove to be too stifling? We’ll see. I'd love to hear your feedback.]]>
