Distraction

Revision as of 19:00, 11 February 2004 by 142.177.82.21 (talk) (can we implement d: links to Disinfopedia? Every time Angela shows up, we need a dozen more links to there!)

Distraction tactics rely on building impressions of goodwill in one area while exploiting lack of vigilance created to do damage to an opponent via another.

A simple example: moving some less-annoying talk to a user page while deleting other more-annoying talk outright at the same time as part of a lot of edits. Thanks to User:Angela for demonstrating this technique recently!
