He may not be a troll by your standards, but his behavior in this thread is most definitely trolling.
Thank you for telling me that I'm free to disagree with him. It's very comforting to know that I have your permission.
If you want someone to show respect, please talk it over with your friend Spiff and have him modify his ridiculous behavior in this thread.
Hmmm ... now I've seen everything. Promoting conservative positions on a thread on a conservative website is trolling. And the troll has a '97 signup date. He's a ten-year troll! And never has been found out in all that time!
You don't have to agree with a person to show them respect, something that Spiff has earned as a ten-year veteran of FR.
Nothing ridiculous about it. Free Republic has had a long-standing tradition of doing a play-by-play of various speeches and events that we're watching together. When we watch a liberal get up and speak, we tear them apart, exposing their inconsistancies and lies. That's exactly what I was doing whether you agree with what I said or how I said it.
If you don't like conservatives dissecting what a liberal is saying, pointing out the liberal's inconsistancies and lies, then maybe you're on the wrong website.
