There are plenty of people who get to be twenty years old WITHOUT thinking about politics... Hell, there are some who don't wake up their entire lives, which is why only 40% of eligible voters, VOTE...

Just the same, He was causing no harm, no disruption, just sparking discussion, WHICH IS GOOD... The people causing the disruption were the ones who where determined to be the first to "out" him... Seems like a pointless pastime to me (although, I do love those Kittie pictures!) What's the purpose of a DISCUSSION board if we're all just supposed to sit around agreeing with each other and patting each other on the back about how wonderfully informed and correct WE are... Isn't the point to FURTHER the cause?

Personally, I think SCARING OFF a potential future Republican, regardless of how remote the possibility might be, does FAR more damage than the WORST troll ever can... And he certainly WASN'T the WORST... If I was a DUer, I'd get a FR screen-name, pretend to be the biggest right winger of all time, and ATTACK any potential converts the way that kid was attacked, thus GIVING THE RIGHT A BAD NAME... It seems like a much more intelligent way of trolling, but they don't have to, WE DO IT FOR THEM! If the Kid was a fraud, fine... time would tell... He'd eventually get bored and post "F*** BUSH!!!! HAHAHA!" at which point you could "zot" away or he would spend his time to learn why conservative ideas are superior to liberal ones... Otherwise, all he was guilty of was just NOT TOWING the party line as much as some would like... If our ideas are are correct, then being challenged on them shouldn't scare us... I can defend my positions without needing the other party to have his tongue cut off (banned) to out argue him...
