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.

Is media Congress?
No!!
Do you intend to impose your standards of reporting on major media? That is censorship if you plan to do so through government.
The reality,
Caveat Emptor! Don't rely on any second hand information for the full truth, major media, here or government.

"As a child, I understood that there is no such thing as a troll, much less trolls that live under bridges..."
Some guy named Bill something built a bridge that went all the way to the 21st Century...
Unfortunately, there was a (bug-eyed Ferengi) troll named Hillary who lived under it.

Like I'm worried. Zot patrollers, troll patrollers, and assorted paranoiacs do far more harm to the tenor of debate than do the particular types of trolls they exclusively hunt. Trolls come in all flavors, and express all sorts of points of view. The most notorious troll of the California Recall, if you'll recall, was drmartinvonnostrand, who flipped from McClintock to Schwarzenegger within 48 hours of signing on. It was obvious from the start he was a toll, but many of the Arnold folks ate him up, because they agreed with him. I'm not wagging a finger at you; I don't recall your take on the good doctor. I'm simply pointing out that for many folks, the definition of troll hinges on the positions a troll takes or doesn't. I define trolls by their styles of argumentation, intellectual honesty, and sincerity with which they enter a debate.

No this is not my website, but I what I say is not vulgar or offensive and I would hope that Mr. Robinson would agree.

Been out, so I missed that one, but there has been a wealth of people joining up when some big news story breaks, i.e., robbery, etc., and saying "I know this person and he's innocent." Really? Are defense attorneys trolling on FR these days?
