Was this supposed to make me feel bad, discredit me or something? Is talking/posting allot make a person smarter or something?

I just get a little suspicious when someone starts defending an obvious troll post, particularly in the way you did, by being critical of the forum overall.

For the record, I am no BushBot. In fact, I am pretty fed up with him. The fact that the Bots defend him primarily by pointing to the obviously awful competition does nothing to alleviate the tremendous shortcomings Bush is showing with regard to fiscal conservatism, the inconsistencies in fighting the WOT while our borders are wide-open and refusing to follow laws regarding immigration, signing unconstitutional pieces of legislation a la CFR, etc., etc. I wish there was an alternative to Bush that was viable. I admire him in many ways, but he has some major failings that I can not ignore.

But when relative newbies start flaming him, especially during campaign season, it naturally brings out the zot patrol. And when other relative newbies with small numbers of posts start defending the trolls, it is suspicious. FR will be overrun this year by sleepers and trolls ... so the mods and others are on a hair trigger.

I find it laughable when the Bush Hating big L Liberarians turned little l libertarians turned Constitutional party pretenders try launching into diatribes about his supposed shortcomings all while magically ignoring his overwhelming accomplishments [that far outway his failings] thus far.
