At the very least I would expect comments here to be civil. If you want to argue the point in an article, or argue with a FReeper’s comment, fine. But sometimes I think I’ve gotten switched onto a DU thread.
And why do certain folks HAVE to get on & comment on things they don’t like. Like cat-haters on a cat article. Just go find something else to look at!
“sometimes I think I’ve gotten switched onto a DU thread.”
That’s so true. They are, in fact, DUmmies, embedded here to cause a ruckus.
“And why do certain folks HAVE to get on & comment on things they don’t like?”
Because they have an agenda. They are trying to sow doubt, influence us, and destroy the.MAGA movement.
I’m convinced the best thing is to keep a list of repeat offenders and just ignore them. Do not engage. The most you should do is say “troll” so as to alert other FReepers to who you suspect to be a troll.
Don’t worry about calling someone a troll who is not one - if they are not trolls let them prove it by giving a reasonable response. The real trolls never respond with reason - they just dodge, change the subject, or go in circles.
Some are better at trolling than others, so you can think you are in a reasonable conversation for a few exchanges… but trust your instincts.. once a troll has has wasted your time, write down the screen name so you know to ignore them in the future.
They all say things like “I voted for Trump twice but the last straw was when he said [————-]”. That is classic troll BS.
Timely. This is the one year anniversary of humblegunner’s last post. 🤣
Ditto that! I think some people haven’t reached the point of maturity where they realize everything is not about them.
