We went to war in Iraq to save a nickle in the price of gas!

[Conversationist]

All the people who were against the war in Iraq told us the only reason we invaded the country was to save a nickle in the price of gasoline. Now with gas over $2.00 a gallon and a barrell of oil reaching nearly $50, things surely did not go as planned. The price of oil has doubled since we invaded Iraq.

Looks like I will not be able to afford that trip to Disney!

I think we should try to guess who this poster "used to be"

What's a "conversationIST"? Did you mean to make your user name conversationALIST? Or is it a hybrid of conversationalist and conservationist?

Oh, and I don't automatically think this person is a troll just because he/she posts something controversial.

Why am I so out of the loop these days?

This is a troll? How do people know these things?

Not that I really have an opinion that I feel like expressing, but it seemed like a legitimate topic of discussion?

Well, at least now you won't have to worry about the cultural diversity and whether you will stand out.

Who was that other poster who used to do that?

 

[EsmeraldaX]

He/She has only started two threads that I am aware of and both were topics, that IMO, were meant to cause arguments.

The other one was on cultural diversity at WDW and in it, the poster made a point to say that they thought National Parks were "just for white people" etc.

Now, IMO, that seemed like a troll, but I responded and gave an answer I thought was decent because my best friend is an African American woman and I had once heard her say she felt weird in NH because she felt like the only black woman in a 100 mile radius so I thought maybe this poster had some legit concerns.

In fact, no one caused any ruckus on that thread at all and it evolved into an intelligent and peaceful conversation for the most part.

As a rule , that drives a troll nuts. So they try again.

Maybe she is not a "troll" but I don't know. I just don't know many people who start off on a Disney message board by posting right out about controversial things.
