Boy, this place has turned into Troll Central today...
Or maybe we should call it "Stampede Of Knee-Jerk Outrage From Credulously Falling For Republican Talking Points"-ville.

It looks like my Ignore list will double or triple by the time this is over.

1. Personally I consider anyone who disagrees with me to be a troll.
That philosophy makes weeding them out ever so much more simple.

4. Let me expand upon how I determine who is a troll or not:
I read DU to discover what is the popular and majority opinion on any given subject therefore anyone who disagrees with the popular and majority opinion (and also mine) is obviously a troll. This is very simple to do and is unfailingly correct,.

9. The only line I toe is the one based on principal
Which seems to get sold down the river all too often...principal over party does not make one many friends I am afraid.

10. Unless it is the principal's principle.
From the ones I've known I will take the party over principal any day. :)
Now just show me where the party is.

13. The trouble is that you are in a state of mind and I'm in a state of denial
and those two are not even close.

6. Some
Democrats have a legitimate dislike for the bill as well as valid concerns. In addition, we have had undercover Rethug trolls here for a long time.

7. Are you including also the ones who are bleeding for the Ft. Hood shooter
because he did not want to be shipped to Iraq?

I have seen it hinted several places and cannot believe it!

At least I reversed your "less than 0" for a while.

:hi:

I've not seen any bleeding hearts, maybe have missed those? Or do you include me, since I hope he lives so they can figure out wtf happened?

17. No. I have no reason for it
but since you said trolls, I would include them, too, among the ones that caused me - and others, I think - to flee GD and GDP for the safe shelter of the Lounge.

14. The funny thing is
I've seen people with wildly divergent opinions say basically what you are, so by this point I don't even know which posters you're talking about. Or which issue, even.

21. E-Gads....... No Kidding
I had to keep checking the top left of the screen to make sure it said Democratic Underground. They're crawling out of their slimy sludge dungeons en masse.

Please don't start thread to call groups of DU'ers trolls. If you see posters that you believe are here to intentionally disrupt the site, please use the alert function.

Thanks,
