Miner49er likes to sort of frame himself at TTAG and here as some sort of a &#039;counter balance&#039; &#039;challenging orthodoxy&#039; kind of role, and not trolling or intentionally spreading left wing misinformation (for example, his recent false claims about Trump using key word search terms in his posts). However, posts of his at other places indicate his true purpose is to troll and post subjects for left wing misinformation and anti-gun information so its is picked up in search engine results to spread the left wing false and misinformation which is why he is so eager to post using search engine key words and quoted headlines of left wing media stories that turn out to be fake news or biased slanted false. TTAG and SNW are not the only places he posts and Miner49er/Missy12 are not the only names he uses - for example, here at SNW he once posted calling for jews to be killed using the user name &#039;American Tax Payer&#039; and his posts got removed after being pointed out. A hiccup in the word-press systems once revealed the IP addresses of people who posted on word press sites and among these were posts by Miner49er at TTAG, and using the IP address of those posts by him more than 30 different user &#039;names&#039; with that same IP address were found at TTAG and those users name have appeared here at SNW as well in a variety of posts including spammer posts with links in the names and information leading to sites full of malware and scams.]]></description>

&quot;Argumentative tone &#038; straw‑man tactics&quot;
&quot;Persistent confirmation bias&quot;
&quot;He tends to cherry-pick&quot;
&quot;contributions are often logically weak (straw-man, ad‑hominem, selective evidence) and emotionally charged.&quot;
&quot;He frames nearly every discussion in terms of partisan conflict&quot;
&quot;Frequent ad‑hominem &#038; insults&quot;
&quot;He frequently twists or exaggerates others’ statements&quot;
&quot;...or “TDS,” which derails productive discussion&quot;

Geee whiz, that&#039;s a pretty good list of what I and others have been posting for years what Miner49er does. He doesn&#039;t see it, he thinks his arguments are logical and sound and doesn&#039;t see the very obvious large holes in them and how weak they are, he thinks TDS and left-wing propaganda false equates to discussion, he thinks twisting others statements and cherry picking is discussion, the list goes on and on. How many times have you seen me call him out for all this, pointing it out specifically, basically leading him by the hand through it showing him at times - hundreds of times - but he fails to see it because he is a pathological liar and confirmation biased and doesn&#039;t have the intelligence for actual discussion, hes a typical left winger. Its why people have called him out with “Noted low IQ follower and pathological liar Miner49er”.

Heck, I&#039;ve tried to lead him back into an actual discussion because occasionally, like a blind hog, he finds an &#039;acorn&#039; of something that&#039;s worth at least a little bit of discussion. Its rare for him to do that, but each and every time he goes back to being the “Noted low IQ follower and pathological liar Miner49er” - he doesn&#039;t recognize or know what discussion is.

And he has the typical far left winger &#039;logic disconnect&#039; from reality thing, which is also common in pathological liars ...for example, he posted a bible verse and I pointed it out for his not understanding the context of the verse (he doesn&#039;t know what context is which is why) and misapplying it and using it as a prop and I noted his past postings at TTAG of him saying hes an atheist and doesn&#039;t believe that God or Jesus exists. His response is &quot;Nope, I’ve never claimed God or Jesus doesn’t exist. I’ve merely said that I am unconvinced by the lack of evidence to support the existence of any particular deity.” - the disconnect in his logic doesn&#039;t let him see that saying “unconvinced by the lack of evidence to support the existence of any particular deity” is just another way of him saying God or Jesus doesn’t exist unless he sees it and believes it, or in other words, he did say that God or Jesus doesn&#039;t exist. The point is not if God or Jesus exists or not - he did for a fact say that God or Jesus doesn’t exist by saying “unconvinced by the lack of evidence to support the existence of any particular deity”. He even lies to him self and he doesn&#039;t realize it. 

He&#039;s a typical left wing moron.]]></description>

FWIW:  Proverbs 28:4   &quot;Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,
    but those who heed it resist them.&quot;

Proverbs 29:11  &quot;A fool urrereth his mind; but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.&quot;
In other words:   A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man maintains control and holds back his anger.

The next verse should conjure up not too distant an example.
Proverbs 29:12  &quot;If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.&quot;]]></description>

I asked ChatGPT why miner is wrong all the time.  The complete reply:

&quot;https://openai.com/chatgpt/overview/ why is miner49er at the truth about guns wrong all the time?
ChatGPT said:
Miner49er is a very active commenter on The Truth About Guns (TTAG), but several patterns suggest he often misses the mark:

<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f50d.png" alt="🔍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 1. Argumentative tone &#038; straw‑man tactics
He frequently twists or exaggerates others’ statements, then attacks the misrepresented version—as in the debate about AR/AK versus “dangerous,” where his response “light weight, low recoil…” didn’t actually engage the OP’s point about lethality 
Reddit

.

In another TTAG thread, he accused a user of being a “propagandist” and rushed to label opponents as “leftist,” rather than addressing their core concerns 
Reddit
.

2. Frequent ad‑hominem &#038; insults
Other TTAG contributors often call him out personally: &quot;Noted low IQ follower and pathological liar Miner49er&quot; 
The Truth About Guns
. He often responds with accusations of “Soros checks” or “TDS,” which derails productive discussion

.

3. Persistent confirmation bias
He tends to cherry-pick sources that support his view, and then portrays disagreement as proof of the opposing side being ideologically motivated or uninformed .

For instance, when challenged on ghost gun crime data, he dismissed counterpoints as misunderstandings or anti-gun propaganda

dev.thetruthaboutguns.com

Reddit

.

4. Polarizing political framing
He frames nearly every discussion in terms of partisan conflict—labeling anyone who disagrees as a partisan or extremist—rather than focusing on facts

Reddit

.

<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Bottom Line
Miner49er’s contributions are often logically weak (straw-man, ad‑hominem, selective evidence) and emotionally charged. This style naturally leads to frequent mischaracterizations and unhelpful discussions, making his commentary often &quot;wrong&quot; in terms of argumentative rigor and fairness.

Let me know if you&#039;d like a deeper dive into a specific thread or comment!&quot;

I don&#039;t think the link will take you there, but you can copy/paste my question and get the same result.  I left in the the references for the citations for the sake of completeness, which is why the answer includes &quot;The Truth About Guns&quot; and &quot;Reddit&quot; etc.]]></description>

<p>✅ Bottom Line<br />
Miner49er’s contributions are often logically weak (straw-man, ad‑hominem, selective evidence) and emotionally charged. This style naturally leads to frequent mischaracterizations and unhelpful discussions, making his commentary often &#8220;wrong&#8221; in terms of argumentative rigor and fairness.</p>
