Duckspeaking is the repetition and invocation of prior formulas, e.g. Use Real Names, as an excuse for activity (censorship for instance) which actually violates prior norms or [[self-claim]]s.<br /> <br /> Rather than revisiting the [[self-claim]]s and current [[self-image]] to determine if they need revision, the duckspeaker simply deletes or engages in [[quack-over]], which drowns the truth in more repeated copies of the formula.</div> Virtual community
