It’s not the least bit bizarre at all. What’s bizarre is to see y’all poking the bear and getting the same reaction time after time, post after post, page after page, contributing to ignorance rather than fighting it. It’s like you’re striking matches, giggling with glee when they, predictably, burst into flame, and then claim you’re doing something clever. Interacting with trolls is achingly predictable (sadly, on both sides :rolleyes:). It would be genuinely clever to ignore the trolls. I hate circuses. ---

One argument is that there may be new posters or lurkers who haven’t been introduced to **Clothahump** and don’t know what a feckless clod he is, so the troll-poking performs a kind of service, or warning system. I find this uncompelling, though, being that every post he bangs out with his hairy elbows is saturated with ignorance that’s impossible to miss, and thus he doesn’t need to be framed or delineated any more than you’d need a dog turd explained if you encountered one steaming on the sidewalk. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > No, you’re not, because he’s not damaging America or its standing in the world. Are you on crack? On a daily basis, practically, Trump is lowering America’s standing. Also, his entire platform is damaging society, notably his unconstitutional acts are causing more division. > [@](#): > > You’re just whining because he’s the Prez and Hillary isn’t. That’s really your whole spiel, isnt it? “Trump is better than Hillary.” Well, explain how he’s better. Trump’s racism and religious bigotry, his failures as a businessman, his obvious incredible ignorance, his childishness, his vicious attacks on a Gold Star family, and his complete incompetence for the office of president are all great reasons for him to not be president. But, hey, at least Ms. Clinton isn’t president, right? That’s all you care about. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > […]his vicious attacks on a Gold Star family[…] Should be families, plural. For example with Sgt Johnson’s widow, instead of an apology, he decided to double down and imply that she was lying. Despite there being other people in the car who confirm what she said. And the other people on Trump’s end of the line who don’t deny any part of her account. > [@Clothahump](#): > > And for the record, I am not a troll. Never have been.

Deliberately eliciting reactions, especially negative reactions, _is_ trolling no matter what the voices in your head tell you, Tricky Dick. So far you’ve manged to pretty much confine your trolling to the one forum where some trolling is allowed. ---

Trump tweeted out his condolences for the victims of the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas. TODAY. I guess he doesn’t even acknowledge that the state of California exists, even though Tehama County is Trump Country. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Trump tweeted out his condolences for the victims of the shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas. TODAY. I guess he doesn’t even acknowledge that the state of California exists, even though Tehama County is Trump Country. I think it was a tweet that he tried and failed to send while on his trip. Most of his tweets during his trip haven’t been from his phone, but this one was.
