Zot! What is a Troll?
Thoughts From a Patriot | 02/19/04 | Omnix

Posted on 02/19/2004 7:05:47 PM PST by omnix

What is a Troll???? I was taught as a young child that a troll is a hideous creature that live under a bridge that wants to harm children.

Apparently, there are a few subscribers to Free Republic that consider themselves the Troll Patrol.

Some authors of Posts to the Free Republic website are accused of being "Trolls". These people, whom call themselves the Troll Patrol, are trying to intimidate Americans who are wanting to express their thoughts and concerns to keep their thoughts to themsleves. This is an attempt to enforce censorship or pressure someone not to express themselves.

I would like to say to the Troll Patrol that this in not the old USSR or Nazi Germany in the 40's. This is the United States of America and we do have freedom of speech in this country.

If you want to find trolls, I suggest that you visit Sherwood Forrest there are probaly a few lurking around.

God Bless the United States and Protect Us From the Troll Patrol.

"Free Speech" doesn't count in FR ~ this is a private board.

Contrary to the fondest wishes of the totalitarians of this world, speech in FR is freer than anywhere else.

And it doesn't hurt to be polite!

One thing we know on FR is that trolls are more prevalent among those who JUST JOINED THE FORUM MERE DAYS AGO.

Like, for instance, you.

If you're on the level, you'll learn the ropes. If you're a troll, you'll get banned as you then will deserve to.

Should we make it official with a ZOT? Or is the Troll Patrol still deliberating on that one?

This is the United States of America and we do have freedom of speech in this country.

But you don't on a privately owned website.

Nah, a troll is when you drag a white yipyap dog with a rindstone collar behind a high speed boat in hopes of catching a giant wahoo!

Gotta go, feel a zot coming on.

If you had half a brain, you'd know that like you, trolls pop in, leave their smelly droppings and then run away without picking up after themselves.
So, runaway troll, run away.

Thanks for asking.

I can't really describe a troll, but I know one when I see one.
