I disagree in part. If anything, the board tolerates trolls and socks way too long. That said, it is true some posters pull out the Troll card at the drop of a hat. But an account that was created over three years ago and only now got its first post? Also this: > [@Would A Conservative and/or Trump Supporter Rationally Explain This?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-a-conservative-and-or-trump-supporter-rationally-explain-this/850702/215): > > I’m kind of sorry that no one took the bait to crush me That’s flat out admitting to trolling.

Everyone has been really nice to me here, considering I’m a Republican. Maybe it would be possible to have dinner together without one of us leaping across the table with a knife, or even getting agita. Baiting people for fun is pretty much the SDMB’s definition of “trolling”. ---

I do love the “I don’t watch Fox News” defense. I don’t think they realize this means they admit they get their news from Breitbart. Or if not Breitbart, from sources with …shalll we say even more questionable…journalistic standards and a self-admitted torch to carry for ultraconservative causes. It’s like saying “I don’t watch Fox News because they still occasionally exhibit journalistic integrity out of a twinge from a vestigial remnant of conscience or fear of legal repercussions.” ---

I wonder how many say “I don’t watch Fox News” because they have been shown that lying to liberals is o.k.(and openly encouraged if said lie upsets them)? ---

No one watches Fox News, it seems. They just listen to some random guy on Facebook, treating it as equally valuable. I’m having to deal with this in my dad. Admittedly, I’m doing poorly, but it’s because the idea that someone I love is falling for this shit that makes me too angry. I know intellectually you have to seem calm and reasonable when you deal with this shit, but, for some reason, I can’t do it when it’s in my own house. Though us all being cooped up together, with me trying to take care of both my mom and my dad, probably doesn’t help. Nor does his frustration of trying to get his unemployment that they say he already has but isn’t on his card. No wonder this stuff spreads–everyone is being pushed too hard to think as critically as normal. ---
