Talk:Liberal trick

Do we really need separate articles on "Liberal trick" and "Liberal tricks"? Also, is there an appreciable difference between "a deceitful ploy used by liberals in an attempt to draw an opponent in to saying or doing something which can then be dishonestly twisted to show the opponent in a bad light" (Liberal trick) and "a deceptive, and often dimwitted, question designed to elicit a response that can be taken out of context in order to criticize someone, for liberal gain" (Liberal trap)?

I think we do. Liberals attempt to trick people in to falling in to their traps. This is a common tactic used by liberals, are you trying to defend it? This article describes the method of the trickery, the Liberal tricks article provides examples of such behaviour, the Liberal trap article describes how these are used. Why are you so worried about exposing liberal deceit? TrondE 23:43, 18 January 2010 (EST)

Don't start that nonsense accusatory tone with me, especially considering how many more contributions I have made to this project than you and how few of them are on talk pages. I'm looking to help create a better online learning resource--very few encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc, have separate articles for the singular and plural of the same term. If you can explain what exactly is efficient and concise about that arrangement, I have an open mind. AlexWD 23:55, 18 January 2010 (EST)

Besides which it would seem that Uncle Ed has an opinion on the subject. Do you want to call him out as a crypto-liberal too? AlexWD 23:58, 18 January 2010 (EST)

My apologies, Alex. I did not realize you were a respected editor here. I am so used to seeing liberals trying to cause needless arguments on this wiki... I still feel that this article should remain, for the reasons mentioned above, however if it is decided to merge then that's also good. TrondE 00:06, 19 January 2010 (EST)
