In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.
This sense of the word “troll” and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment.
All the above describes YOU troll. Posting an article for the candidate she supports and YOU attack her. YOU sow discord from an otherwise polite conversation. Maybe you should know the meaning of a word before you toss it around. Every time you use it you label yourself.
It was a good article, an insightful breakdown of the polls success rate.
They say that every primary election and this one has not been that bad, at least not what I have seen (granted, I am not in Iowa).
I am so glad you cleared that up for me. I am YUUUUUDGELY STOOOPID. Unlike you of course with that brilliant mind. So, thank you so much for the edumication. I really appreciate not having to cut and paste my sarcastic reply from Wikipedia or Websters.
So in other words, Trump wins by at least 10. That’s near the high end of most polls, but definitely possible.
bttt!
Maybe in your words.
: )
Nicely done.
You argue like Trump. No facts just ridicule.
Easy to ridicule the ridiculous. Give me some substance. Not your silly cut and paste job. Sheesh. I feel like I am in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
I am waiting.....
foot tapping.
“What have I done to be kicked off of FR?”
Why are you being defensive? Your posting was just fine.
You need not let yourself be bullied to think a certain way or support a certain candidate. Despite protestations on the thread to the contrary, I have found you to be rational and reasonable.
No. You back up your casual tossing around the label troll. You’re unarmed in this battle.
Thank you.
I wasn’t trying to be defensive (though I guess it came across that way).
I was hoping to flesh out that poster’s objections with my posting history and how it would warrant a “zot.”
: )
So what is it?
“Constant anti Trump postings”
or
“Incessant pro Cruz stuff”
?

Sorry. You lose. I mean sure you tried to insult her but all your references, even in this last response, you equate trolling with her posting Cruz material. So is it a hideous creature from under a bridge or her constant posting of articles? Oh and for all your snide references to her being zotted it’s you with the personal attacks which aren’t tolerated by Jim.
Time line dear time line.
. = time
XXXXX = the end of your anti Trump tirade.
