Taxpayer II, then and now

Here’s Taxpayer II on January 7, commenting on a Telegram editorial decrying the frivolous use of words such as “quisling”, “traitor”, “genocide”, “dictator”, etc., in domestic political discourse:

Taxpayer ll from NL writes: I could not agree more. The more desparate people are, the more they resort to hyperbole. […]The posters who get on here and berate the premier with their school yard name calling are childish and pedantic [sic], and only serve to further distance the liberals from the mainstream.

And here’s Taxpayer II now, sounding newly militaristic... even desperate? Emphasis added.

Taxpayer ll from NL writes: Just read these first three posts. The sour defeatism that has plagued us for decades oozes out of each word. They say lie down fellow Newfoundlanders, let the jack booted Quebecers stomp you into the ground as they collect their billions. Don't do anything, don't say anything, just lie there and take it, because that's all your any good for. I for one reject the stance of the aforementioned posters. I for one hope and pray that the men and women that we elected will do everthing in their power to thwart what HQ has done, and will do to this Province. Please don't do what these posters want you to do. Don't lie down, don't capitulate, fight this wrongdoing for every proud Newfoundlander.
