Need to get the magazine sticking down in the drawing ... should give Diane Feinswine ‘apoPALINplexy’.
That’s absurd. So I guess “you” are a troll on an Obama thread if you don’t agree with Obama and make snide remarks. Or on a Supreme Court thread if they make a judgement that you don’t support but others do. Or you are against Jeb Bush for President but others support. That is not even near correct. A troll to me is someone who hates all that is Free Republic...not one thread. You need to reexamine your thoughts IMHO.
/completly and utterly lost on both part of the post
Which part of the magazine...
I’m sorry.
I mean which part is...
Maybe I didn’t express myself clearly.
I’ve seen people cling onto threads claiming that the topic holds no interest for them, is boring, useless, or whatever, and yet continually tossing turds into the punchbowl - not addressing the issues at hand but just tossing bombs. Such a person is just hassling either because they’re an idiot who likes to cause disruption for its own sake, or they have an agenda.
That’s what I meant. I didn’t mean that disagreeing or holding differing viewpoints = trolldom. I am not advocating an Amen Choir. Honest debate of the issue at hand is what makes FR the best site of its kind.
Making “snide” remarks belittling other members while not educating oneself about the issue or topic, repeating questions and never taking note of the answers, or asking questions (over and over) that have already been answered, ignoring factual evidence, and so on are all troll-like behavior, whether it’s someone with a hidden agenda or someone who just likes being an idiot because they think it “fun”.
And just to make myself clear - I am not saying you do this, I’m just thinking out loud about what makes a troll or disruptor.
I signed up here too. Same thing here.
I understand your point and I could see that discussing an important topic would be annoying if some put some nasty posts along with intelligent posts. I am not an innocent bystander on a Sarah Palin thread. However, even though it is after 1 January(New Year’s Resolution), I am going to TRY very hard to as many say the saying “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”....But just on the Palin threads. lol. Because I have taken things too far and I have to stop as 2012 is just too long from now to be doing this...Have a great weekend!!!
I will hereby publicly admit that I am not pure as the driven snow at all times myself!
Always trying to be a better person, setbacks and all, and having fun doing it.
Weekend? What are they? ;-)
That's it in a nutshell with the Palin 'worshippers', as I have come to view them. If you don't fawn every time Palin takes a breath, your opinion is dismissed and you are labeled as a liberal or troll. Thing is, with these people, the attention span will probably be limited and by the time an election cycle rolls around and their enthusiasm will have been spent.
I guess there exists that contingent of fans with every candidate. Like you, I would like to see a civil discussion of the candidate, good and bad ... strong points as well as the weak. The candidate would be so much stronger for the effort.
The magazine is in front of the right hand on an M16 like you’ve drawn. It holds the bullets.
I am so stealing that one!
Thank you. As much as I support people owning guns, I’ve never really learned anything about them other than, since I don’t know anything about them, I shouldn’t touch one till I do :D.
I’m a member as well.
Welcome to FR! Thanks, for doing all you can over at Team Sarah.
I just unsubscribed from Team Sarah after being swamped with e-mails. I’ll support Sarah Palin but that site is too sugary for me and makes me love Free Republic more than ever.
Love your sketch of Palin with the rifle. Is this the new “Palin Ping” logo? Awesome!
I found all the emails bothersome, so I clicked the 'NO EMAILS' toggle. It works!
Thanks, I’ll do that too.
Toki, I really enjoy your pings.
Great job on the pingie thingie.
Yeah, probably, after I fix a few things. Glad you like. I kinda didn’t know if her setting her sights with a rifle would be appropriate, but I really think it fits.
