I hear what you are saying.Originally posted by SJHovey View Post
I apologize if my request sounded imperious. It's not an attempted command, it's a plea.
And I do believe engagement takes precedence and that the onus is on the person who doesn't want to deal with the troll. I agree with you a policy of prejudging people as trolls, when they may simply be voicing an unpopular viewpoint, would be a disaster for the forum and for free expression in general.
Right now I have two people blocked. One disagrees with me all the time. One agrees with me 95% of the time. So I feel personally confident in claiming that my identification of a poster as a troll does not have to do with their and my partisanship. It's my assessment, for myself, of their sincerity in wanting to engage on the merits as opposed to their desperation to assuage whatever deep psychological deficiency they have by taunting others and defacing a public space.
But I get everything you are saying and I'll stop asking people to ignore. They can make their own choices.

I do think they were sincere. They did not agree with us and they were smart as-ses about it, and they could be negligent at times with their rhetoric, but if that's the standard then I'm a troll too and so are half of the people who post here regularly. I will give you credit in this regard: you are not being hypocritical. You keep a tempered approach under all circumstances and frankly I wish I had your self-discipline and it's why I always include you as a model for a poster to emulate. dx was another and I hope he hasn't gone off permanently, I miss his level-headed posts.Originally posted by unofan View Post
I don't include myself as a model poster because (1) I'm obnoxious and disliked, and (2) I mean just look at this response. I could have said everything necessary in about 8 words. I couldn't be more verbose if Soros was paying me by the word. It's a f-cking self-parody of windbaggery.
Bob Gray would get p-ssed off and he had a bit of a martyr complex, but that doesn't make him a troll, it makes him a human being with an ideology that has convinced him he's better than us.
joecct wasn't a troll at all. Yeah, he could say things that didn't stand up to the highest standards of logic but, again, so could we all. There have been plenty of times when smarter people than I have pointed out the logical inconsistencies in my arguments and I have had to either eat it or own it and say along with Huck, "then I'll go to hell" and claim my ground with no logical footing at all.Cornell University

Statistically speaking that is very, very accurate. Has nothing to do with politics.Originally posted by Handyman View Post
Its entertaining watching people try so hard to make things justifiable within their political bubble.
They can get many things right but then struggle with so many basic common sense issues.
The cult aspect is very interesting very much like religion.
Good luck buddy!Comment

I do love all the people co-opting "my body, my choice" as their reason no to wear a mask.
I wonder how many of them were against the original use of that phrase..."If you leave ignorance and stupidity alone, ignorance and stupidity will think it's ok."
