He used that one on me also, on another thread. I have yet to find anything he said to be funny. He must be the one that writes that some find him funny. I find him to be juvenile and I doubt he is a TV resident. Most likely a volunteer troll, because no one would pay him for his lame contributions on here.

I know him and he knows me. He is not a paid troll at all, at least I would be shocked if that were the case. I give him more credit than that.

But the wise a$$ remarks and making things up are for sure his trademark.

Don't let it bother you too much. From what I have noticed about this poster, those he calls trolls are usually some of the most informed, most intelligent posters on this forum. So if he calls you that, it really is a compliment in my opinion. Your posts are a threat to his ideology and that makes you just what he says you are not - RELEVANT! It seems to irk him and so he goes on with the name calling. If you are a troll in his eyes, you are in good company.

For the Most part the posts in this thread are worthLess, on both sides. Not to lecture you, but responding to someone who is trying to get under your skin is totally counterproductive. The reason they post in the first place is to get under your skin, and by reacting you feed them exactly what they want and throw gasoline on the fire. If you ignore them they will quickly lose interest. I started this thread with the hope that others would post their rankings but the replies have, for the most part, been disappointing and pathetic.

Not saying that you are incorrect, but i must respectfully disagree with you.

If you do not get back in their face if you do not challenge them, name them, then they simply have fun with each other.

For the most part they do not troll as individuals and they feed off each other.

I have tried that ignoring them and they just get worse and try to top each other. For them this is their video game...trolling.

You started a good thread and I share you disappointment in having a good conversation terminated by wise guys and I am sure that other disagree with me and think ignore is good.

IGNORE worked when you knew who was posting.....they need to be called out is my opinion.

The single biggest asset to the antagonizers here is the fact they are anonymously hidden as "guest".

In this format they can attack and a single loose cannon can utilize multiple posts to falsely reresent a dialogue that would otherwise be easily detected, hence giving the appearance of a quarum or support on a given issue.

And we all know their bravado is directly linked to being hidden behind the keyboard.

One reason why a Hewlett-Packard, or an Apple or a Microsoft, is so successful is that the skilled engineering, administration, and financing of such global high-profit operations draw on unique American talent and labor, while the often less-skilled fabrication of the resulting consumer goods is in part outsourced to places where labor regulations, wages, and attitudes tend to be very non-American. Would we prefer it the other way around — $100,000-a-year Chinese engineers traveling to San Jose or Gilroy to teach our unskilled workers how to assemble their hot-selling, freshly designed electronic gadgets at the rate of $1 an hour?


Carly Fiorina: Robber Baron, Traitor

I am sure that the party of NAFTA, etc understands but it does not make for good tweets the day after she looked so good

I suspect you are the same poster who posted a supposed quote thrashing at Carly Florina. I really hope you will obey the rules of this forum and tell us where that came from.

Other than thinking it is important to follow rules, I am curious the source of all of this.

Carly Fiorina must have really looked good to have this kind of menial attempt at thrashing her.

Tell us...is this coming from the Clinton campaign....oh wait, they were posting selfies last night the the Kardashians......good choice I suppose...hanging with the middle class !!!

Nope, the post you quoted was mine. I don't have quotes to trash her, I was a loyal hp customer. Then they merged with compaq and instead to compaq rising to hp standards hp sunk to producing products that were garbage.

About the same time hp layed off something like 30,000 employees and their stock dived. If I called for tech support I was forced to speak to someone in India who had a poor command of the English language.

If my memory serves me the day she took her golden parachute the employees celebrated.

I don't think she's a good pick for restoring jobs.

On a more personal note, imo she reminds me of a bored Greenwich housewife.

Sorry to quote my own post, but I couldn't edit. Anyone else remember Lucent? Ms Fiorina was instrumental in the forming of Lucent and the At&T split. Something like 30,000 people were layed off, their stock was one of the wall st darlings and if my memory serves me became alcatel-lucent-I think they're in France.

And Hillary is a better pick?

Don't think so but she does have a certain appeal to the more stupid elements of society.

Perhaps Perry did so unintentionally, but when speaking he said that if he were president he would have sent Carly to negoitate the Iranians. Did he itented to slight her because she was a woman? Carly's expression was neutral. But it may have hurt Perry with women?

As I stated many time I have been watching Carlyclosely. Both she and Rubio present in a manner that fits my style. So I need to be on guard and not to let that sway my thinking (i.e Is it I like what you say or the way you say it?).

Personal Best Regards:

First, it is no doubt that her business history is sketchy. Nobody will or should debate that, but as the old stories about other candidates are thrown aside this will also. But you are right...her record is sketchy.

While she is not my top choice, she is impressive with her knowledge of the issues, her presentation and as times gone on we will see about her plans for policy....we have LONG WAY TO GO.

For me, I can in no way seen in mankind vote for Hillary Clinton and find ANY of the Republican candidates to be much more worthy than she. Speaking of the past, she has one that requires extra buses and frankly, some of her past is EXTREMELY UGLY and she just continues.

I realize that her opponents and the media present her as someone who expects to be queen, but she does nothing to in anyway deter that scenario.

ALL presidents of either party have political positions and aspirations, but never in my life (and that covers a lot) have I ever seen a President of this country be so enamored with the political aspect of everything, including foreign affairs.

My fear is that, as bad as it is, Ms Clinton has the extreme potential to even be worse. She is so full of contradictions it boggles the mind.

Obviously I dismiss Bernie Sanders because he is so far left and so close to socialism and communism which has been a bane for centuries that that support is out.

Mr Biden. I think, after following him for many years is just not presidential material. He is a GREAT worker bee.....a congressman, senator but not a leader although he has the ability to get deals done, as a President I think he would not fare well.

That leaves me with the Republican field. Right now, I am finding myself in Rubios corner....liking Bush, Kasich and Walker.

But want you to know that i understand your concern with Fiorina's past....I know of it....do not fear it as it is no unusual or filled with any corruption.

Like it or not fortune 500 corporations are beholding to their share holders first and foremost......not to saving thousands of jobs.
If that could be accomplished in the action that would be fine.

Most company actions to improve profitability and share holder value involves reducing expenses and like it or not the largest target for bottom line improvement is to get expenses/employment back in line with generating a profit.

Sounds exactly what we need in D.C. NOW!
