See, this is where you go sideways, goodman.
The majority of trolls (not "so-called" trolls) come to ridicule, debunk, insult, and even to create reactions so that they can get all Q discussion removed from FR. How do I know this? They have said it.
This isn't rocket science. The world "troll" has meaning. Those others you are describing aren't trolls, and its USUALLY easy to spot the difference. though I have seen some overreactions (including my own) over time.
But, generally speaking, I think our experience on this thread (and the internet) allows us to recognize the difference between a troll and a "seeker of knowledge" when we see one.
So, yea. I don't think I overreacted at all. We have a fundamental disagreement.

Since I admit that I am obsessed, and read or at least scan over every single comment on every Q thread, I have to side with bagster.
The majority of trolls are stupid, valueless aholes and come to these threads solely to disrupt and sow dissension and if possible, doubt. And as Sir Bags said, to get Q discussion off of FR. Would a normal person want Q discussion silenced? Normal people ignore what they don’t like or aren’t interested in.
Some are just regular aholes but some are no doubt hirelings with an agenda.
I'll give you this: you've been here, in the thick of things, much longer than I; though sometimes it helps to see things through a different pair of eyes.
I don't believe we're as far apart as you want to portray and think you will read into what I wrote, what you will.
If it's your opinion "We have a fundamental disagreement.", who am I to argue?!

I normally do a drive-by or take a sniper shot, every now and again when a troll is noted.
I responded to a 1998 Freeper here in a somewhat logical manner and I haven’t seen him\her in a “Q” thread since.

Problem ? it doesn’t work for most of ‘em.
