I'm glad if many would read this, especially RayAmerica.

Patrick,

Could this post be placed somewhere in the header as a permalink???!!!

I think that both republicans and democrats disregard this equally.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)

"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

It doesn't matter whether a troll is conservative or liberal, they serve to inflame others, and they serve to drive others away in droves.

Off-topic happens... just as in daily converstaions, people start at point A and the conversation often evolves into other topics. But trolls hijac threads or are just plain nasty from the get-go.

Very nice!!

This forum is great - no matter what the topic is, the discussion gets to be the same. Fascinating!

Calling someone who disagrees with you a troll is a poor substitute for backing up your own position

What about calling someone who disagrees with you a liar?

You're barking up the wrong tree, here. It's ruff going when it comes to pet housing because investing in such a venture could get hairy. Make no bones about it, toying with this subject gives paws for thought. I'm sorry to hound you on this subject, it's something that can dog you for years.

If I say more about this, I'm afraid I'll be in the dog house.
