It's the mindless groupthink ad hominem attacks I had to put up with, afterwards, that grates my cheese, ultimately.
People need to exercise just a weeeeeee bit more discretion before carelessly slinging around epithets such as "racist," "Klansman" and "Stormfronter" with giddy abandon -- period, end of sentence, end of paragraph.
I have a 7,000+ post "history," here; and FR has a perfectly serviceable Search function. Anyone genuinely curious as to whether or not I'm a racist has more than ample means and opportunity to decisively settle the matter... before (rather than AFTER) posting on the topic.
That's nothing more than simple, garden variety online courtesy, really. :)
Trolls aren't anything more than epithet slingers.
There are even trolls I've come across that are the same person signed in under different nics to lend a group effect.
I've even come across 'sleeper' trolls here.
Then, there are the people of the world that have absolutely no perception at all that throw out the 'well, all the *insert group of religion or race* I've spoke to.....' as if that justifies or gives them permission for being a dult.
Can't hide from the world. Can't force feed people IQs. Ignore them or crawl under a rock.
