::I disagree with Philip. There have been great CPOV parodies and satires, but they are designed to enlighten, and maybe to jerk Liberals into an appreciation of reality. Liberal parodies, especially the rubbish we have to put up with here, are designed simply to damage, with no kind of intellectual underpinning or ''finesse''.

:::There's a difference between an honest parody/satire and an "internet parodist." An internet parodist is someone who goes around pretending to be something they're not, for bizarre reasons. Honest parody, on the other hand, is an art form -- humorous and enlightening. But the people who sit around on CP all day pretending to be something they're not so they can snicker at people are just pathetic. I've never met a conservative who did that.

::::You're right, Ungtss - ultimately, the joke is on them, not least because they are mentally ill-equipped even to understand the ideas which they are attempting to mock. That's why they are so easy to spot and deal with. [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 11:03, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
I am a rotten liberal, atheist but I still feel that I basically agree with the gist of this article. I feel that it is perfectly legitimate to edit or debate or even to use humor or sarcasm on Conservapedia but I think to disguise yourself as a parodists or to be a vandal is pretty unproductive.
