VANITY: Troll Hunting Season

11.15.2010 | Me, myself, and I

[Third Person]

I know, I know, another vanity, but...

I've been lurking here since '03, [and signed up in '08] and I can't remember another time when so many trolls were on FR.

Am I off here, or or is FR directly over the target?

BTW MOD, DON'T ZOT ME!

[Persevero]

“JimRobs problem seems to be with social liberals/libertarians.”

I get annoyed with several Libertarians who say I’m not “conservative,” call me various names like troll or limp d**k or n00b because I hold a conservative position.

They seem determined to convince me that the conservative position is the Libertarian one. If I oppose the legalization of drugs, or porn, or prostitution, or etc., I am not a “conservative,” according to them.

Wow...that was interesting!

I wondered if domenad knew who the Boss is

No idea ... that was the only name I recognised. That's why I'd kinda like to see the epitaph on the zottee's profile page.

I posted a thread about Jerry Rivers Truther guests the other night, and a truther turned up and got zotted there.

Dude, we were wallerin’ in trolls during the Clinton years....

Damn! Talk about stoopid. And his tagline: “(In all things, in all ways, at all times, let honor guide me)” apparently didn’t really mean much to him.

“I dunno, maybe their prayers to Mary DO make them non-Christian.”

I always figure it’s who they ultimately put their trust in. Just like the rest of us.

If you find a post from the zottee and put your cursor on it, the signup date still shows. But I don’t think a zot date is a good thing because that may entail too much server space and martyring the zottee.

Conservatives believe in the rule of law. But if the power to regulate something specific is not delegated to the Feds then that power goes to the States or the People, so the decisions on drugs, porn, prostitution etc. should be made locally and not federally. In no way does the Constitution imply that there should be no laws against them whatsoever. (IANAL.)

It’s been like a birthday party around here.

Apple threads. Swordmaker posts those. I’m on the ping list. I signed up after I got my iPhone, then iPad, then iMac. It’s a tech related thread; a lot of FReeps use Apple products.

There was trolling... And the boss laid down the law on it. So they’re mostly pretty tame these days.

[Talisker]

I only post negative feedback if I have it. It’s like that missile thing from a week or so ago. I pretty much ignore it, unless I see some guys making a very verbose, but weak, case for the missile. Then I go in trying to offer some alternate perspective with some raw facts. If they ignore them out of hand and stick to their “truther” logic, I come back with both barrels blazing.

Blaze away at the "truther" U.S. Navy then, cowboy.

[MontaniSemperLiberi]

It goes one I see.

A) I’m not Catholic.

B) Mary is the only person known to have changed Jesus’s mind.

[ArrogantBustard]

martyring the zottee.

We don't want that ... OTOH, it is instructive to know whether it's an old-timer that got too obnoxious or a n00b13 troll.

[Defiant]

a lot of them lost their license to drive last night.

Were any of them those turds who side with the TSA over the groping? Or the ones who side with Karl Rove against O'Donnell? Cause I sure would miss those guys.

[stockpirate]

Well you chose to reply in a nasty tone, not me.

Yes, for some of us, for the zotees, not so much!

For them it was a funeral!!

[txhurl]

I expect Soros to be spending quite a bit over the next two years... seems like we recently weeded out a bunch of the jerks hi-jacking no-password old handles from ‘98 to ‘00.

The under-review rule is great and effective for the barbarians at the gate, and there are going to be a whole lot more soon.

[Third Person]

There should be a “Wall of Shame” link so Freepers can go back and trace the zottees’ posting history leading up to the ZOT.
