In internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] either for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

In fact, it is a standard method for those with a leftwing ideology to come onto a forum or social media page, and launch an all-out attack. They will say whatever is necessary to get you to doubt yourself and how you have lived your life. They will then dial back somewhat, and engage in "dialogue" which is DESIGNED to help you "see the error of your ways". The tactic is right out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". The attack is NOT about anything except politics. I will make no other replies to this post.

I think you are a little quick to react, I do not see how he is trolling. We all know that liberals monitor this web site but like he stated, i do not see anything political in his posts. He even apologized for the generalization he made. I could be wrong but I do not see any trolling.

It’s alright for us to disagree and we need opposite views for good conversation. I would rather debate with someone with views other than mine, it is usually a good way to see another viewpoint that otherwise might not have been considered. It doesn’t mean I will change but I do not mind hearing other viewpoints. I am a very conservative Christian but I have one friend in particular that is a lifelong liberal. Heck, the majority of my family are liberals. At least with my liberal friend we can view our opinions and disagree and rib each other but we never get mad over it.

His apology said the forum is filled with closet racists. That's not an apology. I resent being called a racist or a closet racist.

If you are not racist or a closet racist, then the statement would not be aimed at you now would it? If you are offended, there must be a reason you think it was directed at you. I was speaking to those who know exactly who I am talking about. If it's not you, you can keep it moving.
