    Default Trolling political boards

    I often see members from both sides of the aisle calling their political opponents trolls. What's the point of this? Of course our opponents are trolls! Every lefty post that I read here looks like it was posted by a troll, and I would bet that every righty post looks like trolling to the lefties. The weakest retaliation posts that I read here are the ones that accuse somebody of being a troll.

    Sounds like you don't understand what a troll is.

    And that you are an irrational person, if you think left-wing posts all look like trolls.

    Are you a lefty, or a righty?

    If I am his political opponent and he thinks I am a troll, it supports my op.

    What does that have to do with my question? I didn't say anything about you being a troll one way or the other, but you asked whether I'm right or left and I said what does that have to do with the topic?

    I've never known a left wing post that wasn't a troll post.

    And a Scientologist never saw a criticism of scientology the didn't think was a troll comment. It's because you're deluded.

    LOL...he asked a question and made a comment. I don't see "trolling"...so, I don't see the fail.
    Why would I leave "our" forum? I have the best time here

    Sigh, I don’t know why I bother with you, everything seems to go over your head.

    Have a nice day

    He also posted it in it in the wrong forum, so I’m moving the thread!
