NOT from the troll group.

I am very experienced in political discussion, both on the Internet and face to face.

The sheer nature of this kind of discussion will allow for "jibes", and thus you need a thick skin for that.

These folks are not discussing anything..ever. In a real adult discussion, you may "jibe" at whom you are disagreeing with but stay on the point of discussion and make and validate your point. Expected.

Trolling as was defined in a thread yesterday is not that..

"n Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[3]"

This has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with disagreeing with a point made, and stating your case. This forum needs more of that.

No, this is more like bar room bravado, you know all the guys laugh when I mock someone, and who cares we are in a bar.

Disagree with anyone, that is the point of having a forum. Running in here with nothing but the intent of badgering....that is a troll.

Listen, most of know who these folks are, and how is that said diplomatically....this a'int their first rodeo.
