prairiebreeze, I didn't get on the computer until that thread was well over 1400 posts. I saw your battle with the posters in question, and am glad you and A Citizen Reporter spotted them for what they are, trolls. I have noticed that the trolls fall into a few categories.
1. Those that seem obsessed with homosexuality and trumpet their attitude like anyone who disagrees with them is a closeted gay.
2. Those who argue "legal" or "policy" points like they are the big experts and the rest of us are just partisan naifs.
3. Those who pretend to be really macho and act like the President is a coward and a wimp.
You were spot on in your comments, and I am sorry I got there so late that I couldn't help.
Since your comments on such threads are always astute MM, I'm sorry you couldn't be there either. But we held the fort down and there will always be a next time with those rumps....unfortunately.
