& I mean that from BOTH sides of the political spectrum, could be on ANY political board. They're usually angry & ignorant people, just trying to provoke mindless arguments from those they disagree with. They're not worth the "figurative powder" to blow up. Good option here for those who agree with me is to use the "ignore user link", fine alternative for civil debate. Regrettably, those who perpetually post under an alias don't have that link. Perhaps TER will fix that one day. In the meantime, if such an individual irks you, just ignore them. My 2 cents.

There are a couple of posters here who I don't talk "to" only 'about" They and everyone else already know who they are. There are a few more who I just skip over, and although the place would be better off without them, and actually the board is a better place whenever they cross the line and get put into "time out", but board trolls are hardly a new thing here, nor do I expect this place to ever be "troll free"

ust like someone who puts up a post, let’s say, complaining about those who post under an alias. Then that poster does not like the replies because no one agrees with him, they take him to task, and put him in his place, so he removes his post thereby removing the replies that he does not like. That is one of the traits of a true coward. Truly Weak and Scared.

As for skipping over SOME of the aliases, some of them get pretty damned noxious & the fact that they can't be ignored, means some of them desperately WANT a provocation. This applies for ANY board. As for "skipping them", you're right & that is becoming easier as time wears on.

I often find him FOS on politics', but at least his "pilot light" is on, unlike other "dim" individuals, & he writes in proper & coherent English, which for some these days, is a major hurdle.

I have been told I am an "acquired taste"

Btw, for those not clued in, the acronym FOS = Full Of Shit.

I've used that function in the past, because even some subject lines were totally obnoxious. That hasn't been so much the case lately. However, you can do what I do, 99% of the time. Don't respond to them. They want attention. Don't give it to them. And, I don't, 99% of the time respond to alias's. I've noticed some new ones on her lately. I just imagine them being righties, who due to the humiliation of spouting off about predicting Romney would win, trying to sneak back unnoticed!  

OK then, what's YOUR name, Buckwheat?

Your naivety and "airheadedness" totally missed Doc's point once again.

"Anyone that uses an alias is a coward"

that's it!  LOL
