“I don't stalk any FReeper or troll any threads. I comment on birther threads for two reasons. First, the subject interests me. Second, I don't want to see FR’s reputation ruined by delusional theories and conspiracies, however ‘well-intentioned’ those theories are. Somebody has to be a voice of reason because the birther group-think gets pretty thick around here at times.”

You appear to me to have just perfectly defined yourself as a “concern troll”!

Once again, you have smeared birthers broadbrush by calling them "delusional" making the name "birther" a pejorative by the equation.

I will be the first to stipulate that some birthers are delusional just like some portion in any human group are delusional and prone to embrace illogical or demonstrably false claims. But that does not justify the ad hominem broadbrush smear of calling all birthers delusional and in need of being rescued by you personally. Talk about describing delusional mania!

When I or most FReepers observe that a FReeper, birther or not, has stated as a fact something that appears to have been debunked, it is polite and customary to provide links which refute the incorrect claim. It is a smear to declare that a class of persons (birthers) are all delusional or otherwise deficient based on the behavior of one ill-informed, or even numerous FReepers who happen to repeat a debunked birther claim.

The 2 major arguments birthers make center around the birth status of Obama. The BC and NBC.

“Birther” is accurately descriptive. Get over yourself.

I can't count the number of times I've been called an "Obot", despite being a life-long conservative.

Now I’m a “concern troll?” Okay. I’ll update my FB status from “lying Obama-boot-licking troll” to “concern troll.” Does that work for you? Are we good?
