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.

Well, you have to admit, sometimes it helps to get the blood boiling a little to make life a little spicy.

Well, considering that you and I are both very opinionated and a touch hot-headed, last week was inevitable, I suppose. ;)

But what is cracking me up is the length and variety of posters on this thread. Howlin has been by, Sabertooth, you, I think I saw rdb, I think the only one I haven't seen is JohnHuang2 and maybe JR -- I mean this place is a whos who of FR!

A classic for the ages!

My job right now is hurry-up-and-wait. I will be on and off until about 4:00 tomorrow am (7:00 am EST ;) ) -- waiting for some data conversion jobs to run, staring at logs to make sure they are OK, set the next step, then 20 mins of sleep and start all over again. Que sara, sara.

Yikes! I recently got certified as a personal trainer and have an interview next week with an upscale gym downtown here, as well as a soon-to-start p/t job at a nearby Pilates studio. Since I'm always in the gym anyway, I might as well make money at it. ;)

Steel wool cleans pans well. I really like SOS. Brillo isn't as good--the soap they use just isn't as pleasant-smelling.

(Sorry, the bunny-with-a-pancake-on-its-head pic didn't come to hand, so I thought a response about dishwashing methods was just as apt.)

FReeper Rule #109.2 (right after the Ann Coulter Rule) -- stating you are a personal trainer and no pics???? Your home page has some nice shots of you but you are always all wrapped up!

This is an odd one -- a Zot post with no Zot. It actually has gathered the interest of most of the FR commuinity. I think it has just been a chance for us all to have a laugh and relive some old fun days.

But I noticed the author was banned, but it took a while. That puts it in the Zot column.

I'm still trying to figure out why this one was zotted. Does the answer come later in the thread or is this as good as it gets?

As near as I can tell, it has to do with burning 540 posts worth of band on nothing.
