I’m sure gadge’s including himself in this admonition….it would have been better if that post had no replies at all.

I try to be cool with everybody.

I don’t consider chopper a troll. To me, a troll is someone who comes aboard with a new account solely to toss a meaningless hand grenade in order to get a rise out of others. chopper just has a difference of opinion with me and that doesn’t make him a troll in my opinion. This side of the forum has become a lonely place for the Trumpers.

Reasonably intelligent differences of opinion are valuable. Just be nice.

There are several trolls with old accounts. They revisit every few months or even years as their whims inspire them to throw those "hand-grenades."

There are also some regular phorum participants who seem to have a pathological need throw around disinformation periodically, and they often taunt and name-call when called out for it. Mostly right-wingers, but not all. If they aren't trolls, they nevertheless shouldn't be encouraged.

Shall we rephrase then? When someone engages in troll-like behavior, please don't encourage it by responding.

On an unrelated topic, I hear that Brandon still sucks his thumb and cries for his mother when he wants his dindin.
(just being a PITA for giggles. I’m a Biden supporter.)

But they are so cute...
