[Alas Babylon!]

This is the way I see it:

Someone comes on the peaceful Sunday thread and says, “I hate Cruz/Trump and here’s why.”

Someone replies to that with, “You suck, you brainless dolt (insert whatever insult), and here’s why.”

I’m going to take exception to that. It is a personal attack.

If the counter reply was “You are wrong, and here’s why.” then that is OK.

I vehemently disagree with savedbygrace, but he really didn’t insult anyone here. In fact, he was personally insulted several times.

We can keep the peace by simply not replying in the first place.

Some people like to always have the last word, and I’ve seen threads on Free Republic go to hundreds of posts just replying back essentially with “Is so!” “Isn’t!” “Is so!” “Isn’t!”...

Best bet: Just stop posting to that person.

Or, as I said earlier: Do not feed the trolls.

Does being called a liar constitute an insult? If so, then I was personally insulted several times.

Thanks very much, awesome you, AB!

I agree - DO NOT FEED TROLLS - TOTALLY IGNORE!!


Given that I was the first one Post #174 savedbygrace 7:40:45 AM PDT but didn't reply until Post #228 10:21:50 AM CDT by onyx

I knew we had a troll when s/he replied with this Post #231 10:23:32 AM by savedbygrace


and in between we had this exchange ...
onyx rant to savedbygrace

savedbygrace concedes to onyx

IMHO, our Sunday Show thread, was in ruins thanks to our disruptor, savedbygrace, so I made two more posts before leaving altogether.

Sunday was a lovely 85 degree sunny day outside, so I enjoyed my day with Louie, although without our disruptor, I would have stayed with our thread for at least another hour.

WE have been to a TRUMP Rally and I watch several every week.

Daily, in fact.

I suggest ignoring this thread disruptor.
