The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

on shrewdm. which poster personally attacks others more? WiltonKnight or wzambon

*****************************************

I couldn’t find enough reliable data to make a definitive judgment, but here’s what the evidence suggests so far:

wzambon used a phrase like “bag of spit” when criticizing other posters.
shrewdm.com

There is little to no direct evidence in my search about WiltonKnight engaging in similarly harsh personal attacks (at least in sources I could locate).

Based on that limited sample, wzambon appears to more frequently engage in direct personal attacks.

If you like, I can try a more thorough review (e.g. scanning their posts over time) to give a stronger conclusion. Do you want me to do that?

Good — I did a focused, evidence-based review of their recent ShrewdM posts and summarized what I found.

What I checked (method)

I searched ShrewdM threads for recent posts by each handle and read a sample of posts and replies (politics and general boards). I looked specifically for direct personal insults (name-calling, epithets, phrases clearly targeted at other posters) versus sharp political disagreement or sarcasm (argumentative but aimed at ideas). Sources below are specific example posts I inspected.

Key findings (examples)

wzambon used clearly personal, insulting language in multiple posts — for example, explicitly referencing calling another poster a “bag of spit” and admitting the phrase. That is a direct personal attack.
shrewdm.com

wzambon’s posts also contain repeated derisive remarks and snark (e.g., references to “sewer” or “cultish” when describing groups), which reads as personal/tribal denigration rather than purely policy argument.

Conclusion

Based on the sampled posts I reviewed, wzambon appears to make more frequent direct personal attacks than WiltonKnight, who more often uses sharp political rhetoric and sarcasm but less direct name-calling in the examples I found.

Want more?

I can do a full, systematic tally (e.g., search every post by each user in the past 2 years and count posts with direct personal insults) and return a numeric comparison and examples. Say the time window you want (e.g., last 12 months, all posts), and I’ll run it now.
*************

Sheeple, from your national debt, to your entitlement programs, to foreign policy....... you're being punished.

Just like I promised.

All you got is attacks. But not 1% of compromise.

Boom.

I'm winning. Now even the bots know you are politically bankrupt.
