Good point! Being new doesn’t make someone a troll. It’s disagreeing with me that does. ;-)

Hoo boy...! Being “old” doesn’t make one a troll either... :-)
But, you’re right, disagreeing with someone on a “hot topic issue” will get you to be called a troll *real fast* — uggghh...

I wonder, sometimes if actually being a Christian and posting things of the Bible (which I think are the *absolute foundation* of being conservative) — will eventually be considered trollish...
But, aside from that, certainly disagreeing with some posters about the Obama qualifications issue is one thing that surely will get you called all sorts of names, from idiot, to stupid to troll, to Obot, to... (I forgot all the names... )...
[ posting here to mark this thread for future reference; good material... ]
I thought they were called Obamatrons. They come into a website or blog to make sure the information is discredited or out of view. There is a whole team of Obama’s that scours the website and sends people in.
On Fox news a few of Obama’s action wire trons come in and just post the same word or line a million times so the whole page is taken over. They do this over and over. Finally posters tire and the website becomes hard to manuever.
On one conservative website they have moderators who choose what can be posted. You can threaten others in the forum but do not go against the moderators or theur friends. Speaking out against moderators is cause for being barred. You are never allowed to explain that possible the moderator has a ulterior motive. Once banned you are banned. From someone who believes in the ultimate right to free speech, Ann has moderators who do not share her ideology. I rarely go in anymore because it seemed a little nazi to me.
The McClatchy newspaper blogs have moderators who will bring the forum in favor of their political communist agenda. The liberal moderators have followers who keep the posts along their agenda of socialistic health care, more social programs and handouts.
We know the ones who come in with talking points to dispute what is being posted. The same old tired one liners, they can never explain themselves because they are told what to say and not deviate in their email or cell phone action wires. Like, I am a lifelong republican and for the first time in my life I am voting democrat. Never heard that one a million times. sarcasm.
The most recent one I found is they come in and ask questions about everything posted. They want you to search for what they request. If you are searching then the discussion stops. I no longer play this game and ask them in return what they are asking but in reverse.
The article is extremely interesting and it deserves everyone’s attention for sure. Obama said he would be asking for help even after he was in office and many said they would be sitting by their phone waiting for his call.
