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.

I'd like to know just who these people are.

TROLL ALERT!!!








hah j/k

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

Disagree.

There are many regular and long-standing trolls.

Folks who repeatedly show up with fallacious arguments are also trolls.

You've seen them; you know what I'm talking about.

For Omnix:

Another word for Troll is Rat, as in DemocRAT.

For the administrators, how come this troll has been here for five minutes? Zap him/her.

Howlin, there are people here who use troll patrol..Eggs Actly and others. I like Eggsactly, but thought the attack was a bit hasty. Usually, the attacks are fast and accurate, though:)

Go back and read some of his posts. This guy isn't a troll.

Perhaps, but then I didn't say that he was. In any event, the post has problems in terms of Topics selected (and, IMO, failure to include "Vanity" somewhere in the headline).

This is an attempt to enforce censorship or pressure someone not to express themselves.

It is Jim Robinson's website and he can edit anyone off. It is NOT censorship, he is not government and this ain't public property.

I suggest that you visit Sherwood Forrest

Any relation to Forrest Gump? Does he live in the forest?

Moron.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 

This is a private website, no Congress Critters making law that I have been able to locate.

Got it. What a private owner does with their website is up to them, and them alone.

 

However you may:

petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

but you may find them abit slow to move for Congress shall make no law ...

 

Got it figured out yet?

[Skooz]

50+ posts and you have yet to respond?

You smell much like a troll.

I was thinking of something kind to say, but all that would come out was 'Um...' You may be thinking of 'Om...'

And you've never opened a dictionary since, right?
