This one I *will* respond to.

What is a Troll on Free Republic?

One factor is this: A Troll tends to be a real jerk to others on the forum who have been vetted by years of participation. Trolls don't like Freepers, and it bleeds through in their responses, no matter how they might try (or, sometimes, not) to conceal it.

Other than that? Timing is key, I suppose.

During the primary, when other options exist that seem more conservative, a Troll is someone who pushes Mitt Romney, who didn't seem as conservative.

But LATER, when the selection is made, and when Mitt Romney goes on to satisfactorily address his more-left behavior in Massachusetts ; performs very admirably to our Free Republic eyes in the debates (without embracing liberal Republican ideology); AND THEN EVEN BRINGS UP THE 10TH AMENDMENT IN THAT DEBATE -- which NO major Presidential candidate has done before, to my memory ....

....THEN, a Troll is someone who, less than two weeks out from the election, consistently denigrates Romney -- thus rendering aid and comfort to an outright Marxist Obama, comes up with every reason why he won't win (counter to all available evidence), and otherwise tries to depress the conservative vote.

You know, kinda like you are doing.

No, strike that: EXACTLY like you are doing.
