Who is FromWithin trying to talk to?

So it seems that FromWithin is in the process of banning pretty much everyone who enters into his debates, which begs the question:

Who is FromWithin trying to talk to? I have heard it said that he is simply a troll, but I find it hard to believe that a troll would ban people from their debates, as that would be rather counterproductive to the concept of trolling. 

So is he even trying to talk to people? Or is he simply trying to talk at people?

My theory is that this particular persona is making a dedicated effort to encourage american liberalism by depicting a gross caricature of american conservativism. It operates in a trollish manner at many times, but it isn't actually intended just to troll per se. It's trolling to get laughs but also to push an agenda.

Too bad it woke up the Kraken (LibProlifer) who does the same thing to benefit conservatives.

All I can add is an upvote. I find LibProlifer more entertaining though.

I banned you by accident. I don't know how to unban you. .

He is just trying to talk at people. What is great is that he has a formula. Create a wild debate with crazy accusations. Ban people. Then follow up with an argument about how no one is responding to his debate in the way that he wants. Oh, and he loves declaring victory when all of his points get shot down.

Honestly, I'm amazed that you haven't been banned from his debates as well. You are more antagonistic than I am towards him :P

I got banned from one and went over to the other.

It must generate a sense of lofty superiority to arrogantly psychoanalyze the forum's disembodied participants, pigeonhole them and then sit back and relax with that warm feeling of smug contentment. Scouring the thesaurus to ensure you use the biggest word you can find to mask the shallowness of your self opinionated verbose drivel must take up a lot of time for you phonies. You really are a pitiful bunch of Don Quixote dummies playing out your fantasy rolls as debating academics. Man, man oh man.

What are we supposed to do, he has banned us from his debates, so we can't talk directly to him.

Where do you see big words that would more likely be found in a thesaurus?

Just be happy the douche limelight isn't on you. You can't even figure out how to use the website.

This post is funny because it's basically talking about itself :)

You must be new here. That is about 95% of his posts. :)

This isn't the first time I have seen you do essentially the exact same thing you accuse others of doing, while at the same time attacking them for using "big words". This, coming from someone who spends the majority of his time on this website rather viscerally attacking people.

The irony of this post of yours is pretty hilarious.

Oh gosh, look, there's blood in the water, the petty minded bogus literary geniuses must be in a feeding frenzy. True to form, they always take the bait. With all their predatory senses at a heighten state of alertness they frantically search for someone to descend upon en-mass and devour. Apparently, Iran has just signed up to an agreement to limit it's nuclear development programme, I.S., is massacring 100s of innocent Christians in Africa, Russia is remaining it's usual menacing and ''bolshie'' self, China continues to forge ahead with it's ambition of becoming the most formidable military force and industrial power in the world, ( aided and abetted by the buying habits of the fickle western public), but all you lot are interested in is , ''oh that horrible, despicable person has banned us from responding to his posts. He must be one of those nasty trolls, well maybe not, but he must be, what would his motive be? I've made up my mind, he jolly well is a rotten trolling cad.

Translation: "Oh no, I insulted people and they responded by pointing out the silly hypocrisy in my comment".

Go back to your overt, malicious racism. You don't even try to maintain a productive conversation on serious topics.

My guess it's just an extreme form of talking to himself.

He's trying to pretend he's talking to a majority of the internet. By banning someone, maybe to him it feels like he's stopping a radical who is diluting his message. Or he's crazy, and just wants to piss people off.

It is clear from the fact that he is unable to defend his views that what he posts are not his views. I guess he is just a troll.

I feel I should get credit for being the first one to get banned by him. I get banned now just because I'm not from the USA. I suspect he is controlled by someone who was on the site before and disliked me.

Were you really the first? Congratulations. What debate was it?

Haha I can't remember :/ it was something I wasn't qualified to talk on he felt.
