User:Bootmii/Conservapedia:Schlafly Rearguard
Any experienced defender of the Conservapedia realm will invariably find him or herself in the position of being mercilessly hounded by the forces of the Atheist Liberal "fact" lovers. When you are backed against the wall and within inches of the slavering jaws of the scientific method junkies, the Schlafly Reversal may not be strong enough to keep from being forced to acknowledge defeat. At this time, the only recourse available to a true Defender of the Faith is to employ a rearguard. In the school of military tactics, a rearguard is a small force left behind to stop or delay the advance of the enemy long enough for the rest of the army to make a retreat.
The first step is to secretly call for the help of another ally. Be sure to do this in a way that cannot be traced back to yourself. Secrecy will allow you to maintain plausible deniability.
When your designated rearguard arrives on the scene, be sure to immediately stop responding to any arguments going on at the time. The rearguard will then say something like this:
- "No John, the point is that you are going to respect this website one way or the other. This site was founded on Judeo-Christian, conservative values, and it is you who is pushing otherwise. If you don't like it, you will leave."--Karajou 18:07, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
- "THIS PAGE HAS BEEN TEMP. LOCKED. John Smith, Karajou, other Sysops, take this argument to TOE!. Now." --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 18:14, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
- "Two things, John: 1. you're not going to push liberal beliefs here, and that includes a ToE belief; and 2. you're getting pretty close to starting a fight with your blatent [sic] statements of "cowardice" directed at Aschlafly. It stops now."--Karajou 17:51, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
This tactic is most effective when coupled with a series of user blocks and locking the offending article, rendering the debate effectively over by locking out the enemy at the gates.
As you can see the rearguards have allowed you to escape without having to admit defeat, and any locking or blocking is not attributable to you.
