Rather than the diatribe itself, I find it more interesting to try to figure out who is behind the sock puppet username. Female, with almost perfect grammar and spelling. Even the hyphenation-as-dashes is used correctly. It should be two dashes -- like this. Also emphasis is indicated with asterisks rather than caps or bold formatting.
They are truly passionate about their topics and not entirely trolling just for fun. This is evinced by minor mistakes like running two words together or the occasional misspelling. This person did not even need to use a spell-checker. Examples and references used in this and the other post indicate a likely age of 35-45 with right-wing political orientation.
However, they have made one important mistake. There exists one telling characteristic that can be used to identify them. Their consistent use of "eachother" in both postings. It occurs FOUR times in total, twice in this post and twice in the other. An unusual "tell" for someone with otherwise exceptional writing skills.
If the userbase is searched for this unusual string ("eachother"), and hits are found with consistent usage for a female with otherwise impeccable grammar, spelling, and decent vocabulary within the age range, it should be possible to identify the hand inside the sock puppet and discipline or delete them.
If desired, this could be further corroborated by locating the suspect IP addresses geographically as this user has been posting since May; i.e. they are not just away on a trip but are probably posting from a nearby coffee house, etc.
Feel free to join the sleuthing with your own observations if you are so inclined.

Sometimes, I accidentally push the words each other together. I will correct it, if I catch my mistake. I'm bound to come up in a search of the term 'eachother', but I promise that I didn't write the original post!

I should clarify: I am not asking for usernames or accusations here (please don't post names), nor am I going to be making any. The criteria I listed are just the most simplistic and obvious ones. Analysis takes the presence of multiple elements like these and the absence of same to come up with a match. So far, I have found nothing but a match with another sock puppet from 2006. If and when anything else comes up, I will send it to a mod in a PM. If by chance anyone knows who the author really is, I would suggest you do the same.

I'm not all that interested in searching. I was kind of making a joke, but at the same time a little worried that someone would implicate me, as I know that I do fit some of the criteria that you mentioned, especially the part about the word 'eachother'. I didn't do a search, and I'm not going to, but I know for a fact that my name will come up in a search for that term. The original post was not all that offensive to me to warrant a search. I really don't care what other people think, or do, just as long as it doesn't directly effect me. (unless they're talking about harming animals, and children, then I care a lot!)

I feel sympathy towards the poster as well. I'm sure she was a kind, loving, fun, happy, easy-going person at one point. But that person is gone. The continuous abuse of an individual by a group inevitably leads to cynicism and anger and hopelessness. I'm well on my way down that path, unless I find a way to separate myself from the bad stimuli. Why can't the world just leave me alone to my own thoughts and my own desires? But no, they feel compelled to force me to play their game by their rules.
The post was actually pretty eloquent, if not diplomatic. Those that feel the same will recognize the analogies and agree with the sentiments, while the rest will probably just dismiss it as an angry rant.
I may post something longer later, to expand upon the dog analogy. (BTW, sniffing excrement could be an analogy for several things in human society.)

Gosh, I seem to be in the minority in feeling strong sympathy for this individual. That said, I haven't seen any other posts of hers; I'm relatively new to WP.
I think it'd be fair to classify the emotion behind her strong words as anger, and that anger probably comes from continuous pain in her relationships with others. Surely most if not all of us know what that's like, at least to some degree!

You could apply the same reasoning to Hitler's antisemitism.
Henriksson, you've been taking the good guy act too far, don't you think? Don't let the recent compliments get to your head.

I wouldn't judge the author of these threads too harshly. Sounds like whomever it is has a tough time for some reason and wants to talk about it on WP by using these generalizations and metaphors. Maybe this person needs these threads to get thru the day?
Agreed. My beef is with the use of a secondary username, which is breaking the rules here. For the record: I'm trying to say they are NOT a troll (they were called a troll in the other thread Henriksson references), but are just passionate and afraid that their opinions will impact their main username which seems to have been here for quite some time. I can see how I phrased this sentence poorly; it can be easily misread.
The other beef (if I may continue to malign the word beef at the risk of Cattle Rancher lawsuits (poor Oprah)) I have is with the language in the other post. There is no need to toss about the N-word and worse just to prove a point or demonstrate passion. Name calling simply causes pain.
@Serenity: Actually, you didn't even come up at all (just searching on a single criterion would be useless). In fact, I just checked and there are something like 10,000 hits on "eachother" alone. You don't show because your paragraph structure, quote type and usage, age, hyphenation, and comma usage are a complete mismatch (just for starters). Also, you don't have a lot of very angry political posts abbreviating "left-wing" as "leftie"
So far, there is just the one hit from the other 2006 puppet.
Personally, I don't find this post offensive either (unlike the other one), although it does sound a bit mean to dogs. I just really like writing analysis
and a mystery like this is almost irresistable to me.
