Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

PS - I'm a relatively long time AK member, if not a heavy user, under a different user name. So...

PS - you talk about AK members like they're the fucking 12 apostles or some such shit. There are as many dickheads on AK as I've run into anywhere else. And considerably more tweaker nerds than anywhere else.

You spell worse than 5 below. You got the dyslexia too?

Another general statement made by a member.

What happened Troll #3 personally attacked them.

If the overwhelming majority of ones threads are troll threads, the occasional ones that have some merit, and I am by no means implying that this one fits that category, are also going to be regarded as troll threads.

Fair or unfair, that's the way life is.

It's the same principle as the one in the story about the little boy who cried wolf.

I suggest that folks really start taking a look at what they want this forum to be. If you simply want a forum where opinions not shared by the majority are unwelcome, and topics that might not flatter the current Admin are not treated as legitimate discussion material, then maybe it's time to change the name of the forum.

Me? I'm fine with it either way, but the "don't feed the troll" responses are starting to look like tools used by a few to stifle legitimate discourse.

And Zeke, your contributions to this thread speak volumes about you. 'Nuf said.

We agree a little bit. I believe that the "Don't feed the troll" posts are counter-productive. Worthless posts deserve no response. Even if the occasional post by this individual might be relevant, his posting history has - for a number of reasons - resulted in my use of the ignore feature. Because of the enormous number of worthless posts, I have determined that for my purposes, I will not bother trying to pick the flea shit out of the pepper.

Whell: " In this case, the content of a book published by a former Obama cabinet member is being treated as information that is not subject to / open to discussion? Really?"

Quite simple. Start a thread about it and see what happens instead of pontificating. You can come up with a "Help Feed the Troll" graphic to counteract.

[Rajoo]

You know what is moronic about this Whell? You are legitimizing a troll whom some of us find despicable in the name of free speech. Cuts both ways.

I introduced myself with my AK username which a few people here refer to me with.
Same basic rule, treat people the way you want to be treated. Disagree without being disagreeable. Heck for me this is a forum that combines good knowledge, political opinions interjected with great humor for entertainment.

But, trash a forum, get trashed in return. Par for the course.
I keep coming back to the same question for -5. If you cannot write coherently, why do you post?

And Dan, I have you Ignored on a permanent basis. Troll watch continues.

Because he's allowed to.

This guy on AK comes off like a good Samaritan of sorts.
If so, I expect self control based on self respect, not by policing. Just an IMO.
I did express a desire to ban -5, but looking back, that was selfish of me
