Yes, I’ve seen the TROLLS on Free Republic, too ... especially when a select group of trolls rides in to disrupt on an Apple users thread ... LOL ...
BUT ... just in general, I’ve see some others on Free Republic use the moniker of “Troll” against someone simply on the basis of either not liking the poster in the first place or disagreeing with their opinion.
ANTI-TROLLS are also a problem ... :-) ... in those instances.
That’s called Trolling the Trolls.
Everybody Trolls at one time or another. Just watch how many come out when you make a post calling out the Birthers on their poor planning and lack of critical thinking skills.
