A common tactic..not seen on this NG but im posting it anyway
phil scott
regard to baiting other politicians.. why they engage in the
practice... the attempt is spin rational or truthful answers into some
sort of debasement, then provoke rage in the targeted person... those
remarks made out of rage are the ones that stick. .a person is led
into self destruction by any response.
.. a pastime for sociopaths... 'trolling'... even to the point of
stalking a victim, or calling their clients etc with lies.... to the
point of suicide in some cases...then these brag about it... there is
significant new legislation targeted at making the stalking, forging,
and lying aspects a felony... in the case of suicides, murder charges.
"The most important thing about a good attack is not the attack
itself. It's baiting your opponent to respond the way you want him to
respond, because only the things that come out of his mouth will
ultimately stick."
You see this applied even in government.. say at a tax audit etc.. the
auditor says to the half starved target who just lost his home or
whatever "we know you made money, therefore you owe taxes"... thats
both false and ludicrous of course...depends on how much money, and
the filing requirement limitations etc...
the remark is made to provoke rage, then enraged the victim starts
screaming ... that material can then be used against him.

One other issue. the old saying 'power corrupts, absolute power
corrupts absolutely'..
Those with such power, either as untraceable sociopaths trolling on
USENET, corporations or government with its insane wars... these go
totally corrupt. then self destruct. Not before doing imense damage
though.
