I completely agree. However...

I need to say that a lot of stuff on this forum, and other like it, that it tagged as "trolling" is not. I remember one time (on a forum full of social misfits and maladaptives like Zeke) being accused of being a troll when I suggested that as soon as one of the complainants showed me even a little actual evidence that Barack Obama ordered somebody at the IRS to persecute conservatives...that I would happily add my finger to all the other gnarly IRS blame fingers being pointed at Obama.

"You're a fucking troll, Ike." Yeh...sure. If we want the real trolls identified, we need to stop using the tag when somebody simply disagrees with us in an aggressive or sarcastic way.
