They actually call people names..people who they could never measure up nor achieve as much, nor be even in the ballpark as a human being. My experience with people who have little pet names for people they dont like or disagree with is mostly with losers and children. I suppose that is what makes up what they call a troll on the net...looked up the definition...
TROLL...."v.) (1) To deliberately post derogatory or inflammatory comments to a community forum, chat room, newsgroup and/or a blog in order to bait other users into responding.
(2) To surf the Internet.
(3) To hang around a chat room reading the posts instead of contributing to the chat.
(n.) One who performs any of the above actions.

IT REALLY FITS THESE FEW who simply call out the names they think is so funny. Do you recall these kids in grade school ? |
I think a lot of readers of the Political Forum, a lot of people who don't post here much, either read and move on, because of the spirit of bullying, or read and dismiss much of what they read because of frequent references to online political theorists, or just plain decide that this isn't a place where much valid information is exchanged.
I often wonder how people would think and answer on their own on this forum just using logical thinking and an attempt to hear what the other person is saying. There is so much anger, and so much posturing and so much bullying that a lot of people who are interested in how this country is run just stay away.
But...that's politics.
