Ordinarily this little blog doesn't attract the “trolls” – commenters who make statements intended to provoke, and who take malicious delight in insulting and maligning any who try to reason with them. I'm very familiar with the trolls from reading the “big blogs”. Like the examples I've seen there, on the few occassions the trolls appeared here, they are universally liberals.
Well, last night the trolls were back here. I've allowed their comments to post, because I think some of my readers might like this peek into the crazy left mindset. For example, one commenter last night – apparently seriously – declared that the mainstream media is controlled by the right wing. That demonstrates a truly amazing ability to ignore all observable facts in favor of a more appealing (to them) belief.
But here's the real point: as I've witnessed many times on other blogs, these trolls feed from the controversy they create on the blogs they post on. They live to cause hate and discontent. Please don't feed the trolls by responding to them. It's instructive (and even entertaining, in a dark sort of way) to let them spew their stuff where we can all see it. But I am not interested in hosting the vitriol I see on so many other blogs, so if the troll-fed crap starts on my blog, I'll stop allowing the troll's posts to appear...
