Zot! What is a Troll?

What is a Troll???? I was taught as a young child that a troll is a hideous creature that live under a bridge that wants to harm children.

Apparently, there are a few subscribers to Free Republic that consider themselves the Troll Patrol.

Some authors of Posts to the Free Republic website are accused of being "Trolls". These people, whom call themselves the Troll Patrol, are trying to intimidate Americans who are wanting to express their thoughts and concerns to keep their thoughts to themsleves. This is an attempt to enforce censorship or pressure someone not to express themselves.

I would like to say to the Troll Patrol that this in not the old USSR or Nazi Germany in the 40's. This is the United States of America and we do have freedom of speech in this country.

If you want to find trolls, I suggest that you visit Sherwood Forrest there are probaly a few lurking around.

God Bless the United States and Protect Us From the Troll Patrol.

I don't know much about any of them. Their time was before my time.

Interacted with alygirl a bit over at LP. No problems with her.

I just found it interesting that their accounts show up. I wonder if their passwords are changed, so they can't log on.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm positive that was "Erika."

"Say jah to da UP, eh?"

[The Old Hoosier]

Sorry, he's been banned.

[Howlin]

Dan, do you remember a long time ago you posted a picture of a dock during the snow (are you the right person?)

If so, do you still have that picture?

Thanks for the heads up.

I did just read that omnix's wife was a naturalized citizen from Mexico, I think it was (too many hours since my last cup of coffee).

Hitchens is someone that is capable of the rapier wit a la Ann Coulter.

Yours at 85.

Well and good.

However, this site also promotes conservative causes-activism. If activism is to happen, it helps the potential activists to get to know one another.

Hence, chat can be helpful, instrumental, even crucial, to that end.

The sudden noise that you're hearing is that of numerous FReepers scrambling to find a pair of pliers in order to remove the hook from their mouth.

The new guy got sent to Siberia. I'm at a loss as to why. Is the tent getting smaller?

Let's put this in clear, plain language...

This is a privately owned website. If the owner wished to ban your ass for saying, "have a nice day," then he can do so. It's not in any way a violation of your free speech rights because the US Constitution says ONLY that the Congress/Gov't can be said to be interfering in someone's rights. If you're not a Troll, then you'd better grow a thick skin and get used to being challenged and even ridiculed for your opinions. Everyone on here has been at one time or another. Earn the respect of others by intelligent discussion. Do NOT start a vanity thread that accuses the site of being akin to Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. Millions died under those regimes. If you're such a prisspot that you'd compare this to that, then you'd better do your own homework before you try to help your kid with his. And if you don't want to be accused of being a Troll, then don't tell us to pick up a damn European paper to learn the "real news," which is something Michael Moore would say.

Grow up, grow a set, and deal with it. Otherwise, get the Kerry out of here.

Here endeth the lesson.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yeah, but she can do it while sober!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Agh! Meant to Ping you to this about his wife...

[sauropod]

FR has its cliques.

[jwalsh07]

Or gal, the wife perhaps.

[Triple Word Score]

Well, tell me how you talk your spouse into letting you, and then how you'll talk his spouse into letting HIM.....

[Central Scrutiniser]

I doubt they even know, till now. Oh well, there are so many sights. We live in interesting times eh?

Wouldn't have it any other way....

[deport]

LOL
