This will no doubt be the fantasy constitution the wingnuts/teabaggers believe in.

JoBParticipantThe constitution is amazingly straightforward..
read it for yourself
you don’t need someone else to tell you what it says
it’s good to remind yourself now and again just what this experiment we call democracy means…
Our forefathers faced a struggle amazingly like the one we face today …

DBPMemberThank you, FreeRangeTroll. Always a pleasure to see one of your thoroughly bogus hit-and-run posts.
I did a quick check of the threads you’ve started on this forum. You’ve dropped lots of zingers over the years, but you’ve failed to follow up on a single one of them. That’s lame.
When you start contributing something of value to this forum, instead of just dumping on it, I’ll think about following your links or paying attention to what you say.
Until then, forget it.

chrismaParticipantI was confused until I realized that the original post has apparently been deleted.
September 3, 2011 at 5:12 pm #733769
DBPMemberNope, chrisma. I think post #1 was FRTroll’s “original” post.
This person has a habit of posting inflammatory right-wing jabs and linking to external info at the same time. But when people here read the linked material and respond in good faith, expecting a good-faith response in return, FRTroll is nowhere to be seen. (Grrr!)
The last time I got suckered I made a vow that I would call this Troll out, so that’s what I’m doing.
**************************************************************************************
FYI. Two characteristics of trolls:
1) Trolls get their jollies by dropping scraps on the table and then watching OTHERS fight over them. They thereby get maximum entertainment with minimum effort.
2) Trolls often carry water for others, sometimes for money. They’re above spammers on the evolutionary scale, but not by much.
Check it out for yourself. Typically, FRTroll will have a very brief (one-or-two-line) teaser post, with a link to another Web site. My guess is that he/she is also posting the exact same material to several other blogs, possibly in exchange for money.
It’s a subtle form of spamming. Very hard to spot or bust on, but just as destructive to the integrity of a blog as the regular kind of SPAM.

chrismaParticipantI see Ken’s post as #1. Perhaps I have somehow “ignored” Free Range Troll.

JanSParticipantchrisma, check your setting…you can un-ignore FRA if you have them blocked..
September 3, 2011 at 7:20 pm #733772
chrismaParticipantThanks, Jan. That was it. Although, maybe I ignored FRA for a reason. :-)
