23. Interesting thing popped into my head

May 2014

and it never came to mind before. Maybe I should start trolling the religious safe havens looking for nasty comments and alert on them. You know, I never would have done that in the past, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander. At least, that is what I have heard.

You are right, it is a disgrace. I have always felt that trolls were about the most ethically-challenged people on the planet. I know that there is a privileged class here, and it ain't us. To my knowledge, I have only had one post alerted on here, and it was left to stand. Surprise, surprise, guess where that post was? I don't even bother anymore in that place....it is a lose/lose endeavor.
