I have quite a lot of experience with trolls.
However I've found that the most effective method of dealing with them is to simply ignore them. Perhaps management here can post some "DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS" signs. ;)
***You’re not getting a harsh wind JUST because you’re new. It’s because you’re new and you’re annoying and you disagree over minor points and you are acting a lot like a troll. That’s basically classic troll behavior. But real trolls stop posting answers to questions, and their answers simply don’t make sense. It appears you have this unique perspective based upon legal musings and you seem to be able to defend it on the basis of facts & argumentation. If you are still a troll, you’re at least a knowledgeable one and that’s worth keeping in my book.
Thank you for the kind words, even though the compliments may be backhanded. ;)
Do you want to see the difference between conservatives and liberals? Go and register today at Democratic Underground and start disagreeing with them on something like this. See how long you last and how polite they are with you, and make up your own mind about which site tolerates dissent better.
I don't doubt what you say about Democratic Underground.
However I have already been banned twice by Free Republic so I'm afraid I see no difference whatsoever between conservatives and liberals when it comes to intolerance of those who simply may disagree.
And since I've now made this known, I'll likely be banned yet a third time. So please don't try and tell me that conservatives are more tolerant than liberals. It just isn't so.
Many people are intolerant of that which they disagree with, regardless of their politics. It's just a sad part of human nature.
Another example of that is Phil Berg himself.
Back on September 19th, he wrote the following over on his obamacrimes.com website:
Please continue to come back for daily updates and also to voice your comments, a right of "free speech" guaranteed by "our" U.S. Constitution.
Berg is saying that voicing your comments on his website is a right of free speech guaranteed by "our" US Constitution.
However they have been systematically banning people there who have done nothing more than voice their comments. The only problem was that Berg didn't agree with the comments.
How's that for someone claiming to have filed his lawsuit in order to uphold the Constitution?
Sorry if I'm being cynical here. But since I first started posting on this whole issue over three months ago, I've been met with nothing but the most visceral intolerance. From HillaryClintonForum, to TexasDarlin, to AtlasShrugs, to NoQuarter, to FreeRepublic, to ObamaCrimes.
However NoQuarter is due some credit. They're the only one on that list that hasn't banned me.
***Well, there’s plenty here to be interested in. Are you a lawyer? You argue like one. Most of us freepers are not lawyers, we’re conservative activists.
No, I'm not a lawyer. I've just had a long time interest in constitutional issues.
However I have already been banned twice by Free Republic so I’m afraid I see no difference whatsoever between conservatives and liberals when it comes to intolerance of those who simply may disagree. And since I’ve now made this known, I’ll likely be banned yet a third time.
***Well, you’re probably right. But if this were your fist time you probably wouldn’t get banned.
So please don’t try and tell me that conservatives are more tolerant than liberals. It just isn’t so.
***I prefer objective analysis to subjective. That’s why I like Intrade. So... my suggestion to you is to log on at the Intrade forum and discuss politics there. It’s not liberal nor conservative, and the only thing you’ll get kicked out for is bad language or violence or stalking or something like that. Over there I post as ko, open supporter of Free Republic, Duncan Hunter, Sarah Palin, and all that is holy... ;-)

***Here’s the thing to keep in mind. It’s Phil Berg’s website, his own private property, just like this here freeper thingy is JimRob’s kitchen. If someone kicks you out of their kitchen, it doesn’t mean they’ve removed your right to free speech in that town. Just in that little private property domain of their own kitchen.

***Try the Intrade thing. You can find my Birth Certificate thread over there:
Possibly Forged Obama Birth Certificate

Trading isn’t necessary (you can sign up for a play money account and still post over there); just don’t say anything impolite about Intrade... that can’t be too difficult.
However NoQuarter is due some credit. They’re the only one on that list that hasn’t banned me.
***Give them time... ;-)

Conservatives are more tolerant that liberals. You are still here, right? Visit DU some time, although I don't recommend it. It is very difficult taking a shower with your hard drive.
I'm surprised this thread is still going. Then again, many things surprise me these days.
I can't wait for this election cycle to be over. We get a democrat like McCain, or we get a marxist like Obama. I'm not sure which is worst. Maybe Obama would be better. That way CWII would happen while I can still hump ammo and shoot straight. End this stupid debate about which is a better social model, capitalism or communism.
Oh, btw, thanks for your opinion.

You posted this on Oct. 5, and yet here you are still. Guess you're wrong about our "intolerance".
Care to share with us what you posted to be banned twice before?
