How do you deal with Freepers on DU?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

My first poll. More of a test than anything.

[xultar]

1. I send them Private/Personal messages on DU

[La_Serpiente]

2. They cannot comprehend

they are too narrowminded for any dissent. Go in for the kill and sink 'em like a boulder to the bottom of the sea.

[DUreader]

3. help the mods, hit alert

[markbark]

4. I find the best response is to

Shoot first, use the "ask questions" part to reload and then resume shooting. If they object, I just remind them that I'm exercising my god given 2nd amendment rights :evilgrin:

5. I never see them around...

I guess they are either not coming here or the mods are doing an outstanding job deleting their posts!

[ProudGerman]

6. four words

Boot to the head.

[VOX]

7. The "Alert" button is your best friend here...

More fun than zapping bugs!

[Brucey]

8. I like to calmy explain to them why they are wrong,

usually using satire, however. But I want them to realize that we think and care about issues, and that our side is right.

9. I say call it a fish in a barrel shoot.

Giddy-up, freeper! You got nuthin'! Ungh!

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Marinate in jerk sauce...

and roast in a slow oven.

11. For me, it depends on the type.

Your typical Neanderthal Freeper, like that guy earlier on in the week who called Hilary a C**t and said Dean was gay, isn't worth bothering with. Nuke and Flush. There's a couple more subtle ones who like to post up to a respectable number then reveal their true colours. Those guys I debate for a while, because they can be pretty insidious, but you can usually point out their flaws. The majority I say nuke, bur sometimes I can't help myself.
