and now a PSA

Putting LOL and a ;.) after name calling sentences doesn't make them less offensive. At least have the courage of your convictions and don't try to imply 'just joking'.

It is duplicitous to try to deflect a response in kind or a chastising for resorting to epithets instead of reasoned arguments by claiming 'just joking'.

And redundancy is just plain irritating.

troll (n.),/i> : someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response, or otherwise attempting to disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Trolls are sad people. They are starved for any kind of attention: even negative attention is better than none, which is what they usually get. They usually post just enough to get a response, because they don't have the ability for much beyond that.

For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or negative content of that response. Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke. This merely confirms the obvious.

We've had criminals, perverts, wimps, arrogant swine, lunatics and idiots in the White House.
I'm not sure if Obama is a Socialist Marxist but I'm in favor of diversity.

Another proud Obama supporter here. He beat out Bush by virtue of having an actual functioning brain cell and he beat out McCain by recognizing right off the bat that Sarah Palin was a train wreck waiting to happen.

zdonz is a sad, impotent little person who makes himself feel better by trying to make others feel worse. Thankfully he is rarely successful. We should feel sorry for him. I know I do.

I just LOVE [and LOL at] those who call President Obama a Marxist-Socialist....He's not even a LIBERAL much less a Socialist. I think he is doing the best with the mess he got handed.

I voted for Obama and am proud I did so. I will continue to support him. Now Congress is a whole 'nother Oprah.
