Well now this is the limit of my endurance. When a person who is communicating with anyone is treated like this and he is not doing anything wrong then this cartoon is wrong and should be removed.

Keith and I have had differences for at least 2 or 3 years now and we have never insulted each othr like this.

If you are one who has never siad a bad or harsh word in your life to anyone then you indeed are better than me.

Give the finger when you need to but not just for the sake of extending it.

Innocent as evidence above indicates.

But remember Keith that doesn't say anything for the next time lol

I didn't assume that it was referring to me or anyone in particular. I assumed that newbie was possibly suggesting that political discussion would feed the trolls.

If newbie was instead addressing me then it would be ridiculous hypocrisy. Initiating an unprovoked personal attack on somebody is precisely what being a troll is.

But am I bothered ?

Thelma, as for "we have never insulted each other like this", surely we have. If we haven't, we'll have to start trying harder.

Which makes me the troll? If so, I leave it up to you to decide if I am a troll. I've posted pretty much everything about how I feel. Judge for yourself if it's troll behavior. I'm not spitting hate about Bush, therefore I am troll...

Thank you for the example,
Paula

Composing myself, as I over reacted - thinking the troll picture was referring to our political discussion posted where it was agreed upon until the decision or vote was final.

Newbie, why don't you identify who the trolls are? Or what you are afraid of?

Finally, if the cartoon has anything to do with the troll comments, I don't get it. If not I guess that would explain why. lol

sorry
Paula

Default Dorry, the 'toon can be considered apt...

in some instances. But, you know? They watch only the front door, not the back one. Been there, done that...still goes on... I believe the appropriate phrase is 'MORAL TERPITUDE'. Where is the gray matter in the process?

Some 'Trolls' seem to feed on the air...can find no other reason for the proliferation of hates and discontents.

Godfather the Nazi Implications abound, Most are and will continue to ignore them. Look where that got those 'believers' ? The leaders who survived had plundered and pillaged and lived happily ever after.

Thelma - who is Keith? Someone who's under a pseudo? Or, more than one?Can I guess?

As for politics at any future BT...Some unlimited philosophical espousals, could lead to a system overload...limiting the FOCUS of politics as it relates to the BT Mission. I am very cool with. There have to be paramaters - delineating them could be contentious tho. On the old BT they were there...just very overlooked. I've always been surprised about that. - j
