Just alert on them when you see them and the management will brush their butts out of here pretty quickly.

And they clutch their guns and bibles tightly within their belly rolls. They might even find some loose change in there, who knows? It'll be a Win-Win for all!

directed here by the conservative hierarchy. No normal conservative, who plans to vote for Romney, can even find his butthole in a dark room.

NOT FAIR!

Some of you guys take comments WAY too serious. I'm a hard core Dem and some of you shouldn't "pounce" on Newbee's so quickly. It's like bullying sometimes from what I've experienced and see first hand. Just sayin

I've seen people go into boardline harrassment mode on other people who are clearly not trolls. I'm all for getting rid of those who cause problems, but making the false assumption someone is a troll is probably driving away some.

I didn't join the board until part way through the 2008 primary and was a lurker for a long time.

It's all nice to preach tolerance except on a message board where you can attack people.

Some people seriously need help.

on suspected trolls and let MIRT and admin decide. They do a great job. Public call-outs don't get the job done and may result in hidden posts.
