BTW, you weren't behaving like one of the bullies, and I should not have implied you were.
But you were ready to jump on their bandwagon pretty quickly.
Maybe that poster will be engaged by the debates going on here and learn from it.
Not everyone comes to FR with total knowledge of all the right and wrong in the world.
Not everyone comes to FR with exactly the same opinions as (for instance) you.
Not everyone on FR is an instant, perfect, TROLL spotter, such as (for instance) you.
TROLLS are a problem, sometimes, other times they are fun to play with. The most destructive TROLLS string on the most ardent FR (hardcore conservatives) posters, getting them to act just like those we criticize. (Like, DU)
I would not like to see FR become like DU. That is what prompted my reaction to your snap judgment.
I did read the post prior to yours where 'troll' was stated.
I just didn't think it was justified.
I also read your latest post where you were a much better 'host' or ambassador for Free Republic.
In that, you have given the new poster 'a fair shake'.
Thank you.
I'm going to start calling everyone a troll. Even Jim.
I wonder if I can make suc an obvious joke that I woun't get zotted.
