Boro,

Wait so let's see. There are *20* countem TWENTY active threads on RP in the politics forum this month *so far* and I'm a troll for bringing attention to that fact?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Because it clearly is not in need of attention. Do you see why?

You are the definition of a troll:

[ QUOTE ]
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.

Shockingly, there are a large number of frequent posters in the Politics forum who like discussing Ron Paul. Last time I checked, that's what these forums are for, so that posters can discuss the things that interest them. Sorry if this has caused you to clench your panties into your anus. You are certainly free to start threads about presidential candidates that nobody in the 2+2 Politics forum gives a [censored] about.

Boro, I'm finding it difficult to apply that definition to the poltiics forum. The whole point is to argue and debate, statements should result in those things. I don't mind statements such as these, if they are presented intelligently, and don't end every post with "shame on you, blackwater!"

There is a difference between rational argument and baiting. His post was clearly baiting.
