A word of advice, this is a discussion forum and no one hear expresses themselves perfectly.

It is in the ebb and flow of conversations that you will be defined, not by any one post.

There is a reason that someone, accurately or inaccurately, thought you might be a troll.

They weren't being malicious as much as noticing a pattern whereby trolls come here in large numbers and after making a few posts start threads where they can express 'concern' about the President, his campaign, or the Party. Their objective is to trigger negativity and contentious discussions.

Rather than starting threads expressing a general concern you might find it more helpful to take a particular news item or policy and post your opinion on that.

Good Luck.
