“Folks, please just ignore the trolls and they will go away.”
I heartily agree with Snowybear. You do realize that these guys get paid each time they post and for every time you reply to them.
I quit counting at post 210 (getting writer’s cramp), but up to that point, Paladin 2 got paid 112 times. For cryin’ out loud, you’re helping him pay off his mom’s house while he takes up half the air in the room! As long as it’s profitable for them, they’ll come and stay.
Ignore them and they go find another thread somewhere to disrupt.

I agree too. And I’ll just mention that Ransomnote has asked that trolls be ignored too. I try to comply with her requests. That’s giving due respect to a person who works hard to provide this place to discuss events. Just my 2 cents.
Friendly Request
Happy MAGA Monday to everyone. I hope your day started off right. I have it on good authority that our thread did not.
There was heavy troll feeding on the night crew on into this morning. I don't know where to advise you start reading if you want to skip the troll zoo; I skimmed the remains but am not going to read through it and will start around #300 - perhaps someone can let us know of specific posts to catch before that?
I saw a concern that failing to address trolling directly doesn't work because they will just talk to each other. However, they were talking to each other AND engaging with our FReeQs. Posting to trolls doesn't stop them from talking to each other, it just increases the number of posts we must read through to find the good stuff.
I saw another concern that the mods were not active last night. It's my opinion that they rarely intervene when the engagement is mutual.
For these reasons, I request that those who support Q threads avoid posting to trolls. I appreciate the comments of all who supported the starving of trolls. We have better things to do with our time - they don't.
FReeQs, I'm looking forward to a good week. May God bless our efforts, our country, our military and our President.
