>>A newbie calling a respected Freeper a troll.<<

Established FReepers are calling established FReepers "trolls" lately. Have you noticed?

It is disengenuous and desperate.

And it's not working.

FR has been spun up on this issue quite a bit. People sometimes tend to forget that personal attacks only reveal a weakness on the side of the attacker, not the attackee. The best way to defeat a real troll is *nothing*. If a respected person has a view vastly different than you, then you have to attack their ideas point by point, not attack them personally. For that reason, I've restored my Adm. Rickover tagline.
