Please don't respond to trolls!

[Pugdog007]

Everyone knows who they are. They spew anti-American sentiment and will say anything to create division among us. Please stop responding to their threads. They will eventually go away if no one acknowledges them.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I have been hitting the back button a lot more lately. I guess its the internet way of biting my tongue.

Free speech is as American as the Declaration of Indepenence and apple pie...

As I remember the directions set forth when the DB was closed....posters are free to post as long "as they stay within the guidlines"....

If what is posted is against anyones beliefs,feel free to skip over the thread or hit the back button...

In the event there is/are a "troll" or "trolls" suddenly appearing to stir up trouble, then I heartily agree and would hope the Moderators vanquish the offenders post-haste.....

I would ask for clarification from the OP exactly what the definition of "troll" used applies...Thank you....

Thanks for the reminder. Guilty as charged. Won't do it again!

anti-american?????

I would also be curious as to what the OP defines as a troll. It sounds like it might be someone who disagrees with the OP.

 

[MinnieM21]

I have to admit I'm still a bit confused on the whole troll thing. I have a very difficult time determining who is a troll? I understand that they try to create arguements but what do you mean by anti-american? sorry I'm still kind of new and this troll thing confuses me oh so much.

These are scary times, and many people just have fears and anxieties they wish to express.

I don't think I've ever read any anti-American posts on these boards...just ones expressing concern.

 

[jipsy]

uh pugdog, not everyone who posts here is from America. That certainly doesn't make them a troll, just because they are from another country and don't necessarily believe America is the greatest country in the world.

I believe this post was written after the posting today by a DIS'er about a link to a Taliban website which turned out to be a joke which offended a few people....not quite sure though, but I think.

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

I have a hard time telling who is a troll, and who just has an unpopular opinion. Sometimes I read through 10-20 posts before someone brings up the possibility that the OP is a troll. Even then, it could go either way. So how do you know if someone is REALLY a troll, or just someone with a warped, but entitled opinion? I am much more irritated by highjackers....But sometimes they are amusing.

 

[jipsy]

Hillbeans, if you are referring to charlieNJ's deleted post, he hardly qualifies as a troll. He's been around the DIS for a long, long time.

 

[Hillbeans]

Jipsy - yes, I know he's a long time DIS'er...however it seemed to be the thing the OP was talking about (anti-american).

I didn't click on the link, but I saw some nasty replies to the e-mail.

This is not who the OP is referring to.
I know who the OP is referring to and I agree with the OP

First.....I don't know who they are....

Second...I read the link you provided..(Thank you) and according to the link....I shouldn't have replied to this thread....NOTE: I am not calling you a troll...I am just a tad confused about the usage of the title "troll" and the meaning you intended...
because....I seem to have a different definition..

It's been over a month since the DB was shut down....and despite all the misgivings at the time...everybody seems to co-exist at some level...

sure, there are still some hard feelings on both sides...bt, for the survival and continuation of the Community Board, it DID seem, to me at least, that the majority were dong their best to live in some harmony here....

If someone posts and I don't agree with it....I have a choice to confront, ignore or move on to a different thread.......


what I don't feel I have the right to do, is adopt a "my way or the highway" attitude"....nor do I believe any DIS-er has that right...

I do agree with "GOD BLESS AMERICA" ...this is the greatest country in the world....

I truly bellieve you, the OP, believe this as well... therefore...I hope we can agree on this as well...

no matter if we agree or not...we each have the right to express our opnions...

again, Thank you for the link...and your time in reading this....
