Challenge to Freepers: New definition of a ZOT!

none | today | me

[NOTFRP]

It seems that people are quickly labled "troll" around here and then castigated and banished for eternity.

I challenge you, if your cause is worthy and you are half as clever as you think you are, to no longer think of these antagonists as trolls but potential freepers.

Convert them! Reason with them. Just a little bit, maybe???

You guys yell "troll" more than a liberal cries "racist". That should tell you something.

If you are unable to convert a "troll" or two, maybe there is something substantially wrong. Maybe your not all that you're ZOTTED up to be.

That makes sense! ;)

LOL!

Jim didn't select us for our PC skills.... :)

Let ME be the first to say....."which one"?

With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about.

The goobers who come here from DU and other sites come here to lay an egg and then run. They are true trolls. There are a few who will stay and argue.

This board is Jim Robinson's property. If he doesn't want libs around, that's his business. He doesn't owe them a platform; it's his website.

Be Seeing You,

Oh, OK, carry on then.

[Indy Pendance]

The one on the right.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Just as I thought.

You may carry on, too.

[Indy Pendance]

Let's both skerry on. What a moron. I'll be glad when his fifteen minutes of fame are over.

Well, if you hang around long enough, and have strongly-held opinions that you freely express, you're eventually going to get called a lot worse than a "troll"--I know I have. Like someone else said, you gotta have a thick skin. But 99% of the time you're going to find FR very enjoyable and informative. Flame wars happen sometime, and folks can get quite nasty in the heat of debate, but all-in-all most posters here are quite civil, witty, and intelligent. Welcome to FR!

He's gone. Kaboom. Toast.

THanks!

I can handle the jerks and stand my ground. I'm just worried the moderators are quick to pull the trigger when someone whines to them. :)

Brilliant post! Love it!

I have to give credit to Rush. Long-long-long ago he did abortions of callers.

[Indy Pendance]

what's real interesting is, the people I know, who aren't politically active like us, all think kerry is a bozo. No one I know (except for my extreme liberal sil) is voting for him. I only know one person voting for kerry. what about you? How many people do you personally know who are voting for kerry?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Actually, I've talked to far too many people who claim to be "independent". "They're both (Bush and Kerry) as bad as the other", they stupidly say.

As far as actually KNOWING anyone who's happily voting for Kerry...no, I don't. One guy at work is a Dem, so I think he'll probably just go that way...just because.

[Indy Pendance]

Isn't that a fascinating stat? We should start a poll (thread). What do you think? How many people do you personally know who are voting for Kerry?

[wolicy_ponk]

The trolls are getting desperate.

[CholeraJoe]

Real FReepers didn't sign up today. Real Freepers contribute, preferably monthly. Real FReepers are conservative. I posted a thread my first day but wasn't labeled a troll, even though it was a "Black Helicopters" Thread. (in 1999)
