As 2oony stated, the ONLY way to deal with those posters is to ignore them. COMPLETELY. Don't take the bait. In this thread and others, ignore Beaumandy. Don't rise to his taunts. Ignore Ed if he isn't saying anything coherant. Ignore any posters you recognize as recurrent LP trolls. Let them vent their needy, offensive tripe. Take a breath, resist the temptation to respond, and then respond to the actual substantive posts on a topic. Ignore the trolls.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Ed, I think you have the potential to post insightful, non-generalized, non-inflammatory comments. I hope you will do that, as I think you have something to offer.

Originally Posted By YourPalEd Actually, right now in history, you are politically incorect, if you support the republicans in anyway. The media censorship is exactly like the military censorship during the vietnam war, except the united states is not officially at war with anyone. Is there a country we are officially at war with? All our problems really are republicans, and everyone knows it. That is not going to go away. The trolls are those trying to get you to ignore the fact that the known traitor, george bush, must be impeached immediately. I know you know this, and i know it's selfish of me, but it feels so good to write the truth and say it out loud, that george bush is a criminal, who must be impeached immediately, that it's hard to stop myself sometimes.
Originally Posted By YourPalEd There is only one way i know to get me to stop completely, and that is to be responsible, and impeach george bush immediately, arrest frist, rove, cheney. Remove them immediately from speaking in public office. They have no right to speak anymore, never did.

You should simply stop responding to them. In this thread, you're responding to one of the people you call a troll. So, you're doing nothing but making the situation worse.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy Inspector, a troll is someone who comes to this section and only insults people without debating or responding to the subject being discussed. That isn't me, but it sure might be some of your liberal friends on here. You have insulted me many times over the years without ever talking about the thread. Yet here you are spelling out the meaning of a troll and who should be ignored? LOL!!!! As long as you liberals keep trying to hide from those on here who take your worldview apart you will continue to show everyone why you people are always on the losing end of elections, debates, and ratings books in the media. Really. Why does the left lose elections and why are your TV and radio shows in dead last??? Why can't you people give us a few examples of liberal communities that actually have worked? When the left don't want to talk anymore, or someone is a little to tough for them to handle, they try to demonize the opposition then call for a shutdown of conversation. This has been their pattern for years... and here we are again. So typical of people who can't possibly defend their positions that have never worked once in real life. When you can't compete in the arena of ideas you must stop all discussion if you are a liberal. This thread like the other one just makes my point... again. I can't imagine any conservative anywhere getting his people together and calling for a boycott of any liberals who were constantly willing to debate issues. It simply doesn't happen because conservatives have such an easy time winning the debate with ideas, facts, common sense and historical reference. Go to any liberal discussion board and they can't ban the conservative fast enough!!!! Why would you ban someone you can easily beat in a debate? Well, you don't. You ban people ( or call for a " ignore the troll policy ) against people who are blowing you up at every turn and exposing your ideology as flawed and empty....which is exactly what liberalism is... as we can all see. The libs on LP want to claim I am a troll because I am rude to them. Yet these same people have been about as rude as possible themselves to conservatives they don't like. They even have a liberal friend on LP who told me my kids should be killed, all which was greeted by silence by these same people who now claim they are offended by me. ( Except for mele ) Can you say HYPOCRITES??? I look forward to exposing liberal viewpoints as empty, flawed and ignorant in the upcoming future. Have a great day! PS... People have emailed me and find it funny you " offended liberals " on the left have still yet to post a SINGLE thread on LP that is patriotic and supportive of America that was started by you in the last 2 YEARS.

LOL. You've made this claim a few times now, and it makes me laugh every time. How convenient, much like your conversation with a protester. Mind telling us who they are, or are they wishing to remain "anonymous"? We won't be waiting around for the answer, nor the really boring anti-liberal rant that's soon to come.

Answer me this, Beau...did you complain about Bill Clinton when he was in the White House? I've heard you complain about other democrat presidents. How un-American of you.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy Bob, you are a troll in my book. I have NEVER seen you actually go to a thread I was on and actually talk about a subject.

After 5 years on LP I have a lot of people I E-mail with. Many of them would never come into this section because certain people would be all over them in the other Disney threads and they don't want to deal with the hassle. But they do read what goes on here and they can see the hypocicy of people like jon, RT, STPH, Inspector, K2man and the gal who said my kids should be killed, Shooba.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I agree. America’s flag is one of the prettiest flags out there. Brazil's flag is pretty nice too. But their tourists are pushy, so I prefer America's flag.

Which is why our flag is prettier. More stars. Plus our tourists aren't pushy. Just slobs.
