In order to dig up the dirt on somebody and use that dirt to shape the opinions of others. Duh.

Nothing wrong with that. You're free to make your own opinion and I'm free to attempt to slant them in any way I wish by any means I wish.
Let me phrase it another way, then.

This board isn't an election or a popularity contest. I haven't seen anyone named Prom King or Queen over the nine years I've been posting to it, and I don't expect it to happen any time soon.

I may feel that April is an interesting newcomer with entertaining stories to tell about her life to date. Or I may feel that April is a mewling twat who should be flung into a dumpster. Or I may not have strong opinions about April, one way or the other. Which is it? Ah, but that would be telling, and it's not all that relevant.

What I will say is that mounting a one-man propaganda campaign is very likely to annoy the living bugshit out of a lot of people <i>whether or not they agreed with you in the first place</i>. If I needed someone to tell me how I should be thinking and who's unclean and should be shunned, Amish country's about a half-an-hour down the road from me.

Ease up. Relax. Have some dip. "Let's you and her fight" games are high school bullshit and get boring very quickly.
