I've come to the conclusion they are as follows:
1. News story is posted. If OP is Big Lutz or Edrear Warlock proceed to step 3.
2. Civil discussion of news story.
3. Lutz or Edrear posts a news link from either Washington Post, National Standard, The Blaze, Newsmax, Fox News, or Hot Air, full of faulty reporting and make fail comments full of hyperbole and strawmen arguments
4. Other users point out holes in BL and/or EW's post(s).
5. BL and/or EW proceed to get asspained and point out "hypocrisy" in the other users' comments, ignoring the hypocrisy and misinformation in their own posts even when it is clearly drawn to their attention
6. Repeat 3-5 as necessary until parties are sick of BL and/or EW's circular reasoning and abandon thread so that BL and/or EW's post remains the most recent one in that thread.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 or alternately 3-6 for any other news threads.
Congratulations, you have now created the wankiest current events subforum on any Pokemon forum.
TBH at this point I may come up with a drinking game for The Real World. It's the forum you can't help but love to hate.
