To all our Trolls

and the unfittedness of Bob Barr to serve as president by the RESPONSES to the anti truthers and barr supporters than by any other source. They come in with a really cool hand and are easily snagged when they get taken off their talking points.

Live Free or Diebold

Definition #1: Somebody you disagree with but who is honest in presenting his ideas as an alternative to the dominant paradigm.

Definition #2: somebody with multiple log-in names who uses deceptive tactics like "forum sliding," which I am experiencing at www.dailypaul.com/node/60...

Deception is wrong and, as Lisa C. advised me to do, it should be reported to Michael Nystrom.

However, there is nothing wrong with diversity of opinions, as long as all the discussants are honest about their positions. If you disagree with someone, then you should find logical flaws in their stated position and refute them. But don't call them a "troll" as though just identifying people you disagree with is the same as rebutting them.

In honor of a definition #1 troll (me) who goes un-refuted, a poem:

Ode to an Economics Troll

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And critiqued what the Austrians did enthrone;
For Hayek had got his triangle backwards, clear
But a rebuttal was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And a rebuttal was hard to come by.

Up came Bob with his big boots on.
Said he to Troll: “Pray, what is yon?
For it looks like Prices n' Production o' my nuncle Fritz.
As should be a-lyin' in the graveyard.
Caveyard! Paveyard!
This many a year has Fritz been gone,
And I thought his books were lyin' in the graveyard.”

“My lad,” said Troll, “Hayek’s triangle you extol
But what be a theory with a logical hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead,
Afore I wrote my Critique.
Weak! Shriek!
He can spare a share for a poor old troll,
For he don't need his theory whole.”

Said Bob: “I don't see why the likes o' thee
Without axin' leave should go makin' free
With the books or the larning o' the Austrian's kin;
So hand the old book over!
Rover! Trover!
Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old book over!”

“For a couple o' pins,” says Troll, and grins,
“I'll refute thee too, and gnaw thy work’s withins.
A bit o' fresh theory will go down sweet!
I'll try my polemics on thee now.
Hee now! See now!
I'm tired o' gnawing old books and skins;
I've a mind to refute mod' Austrians now.”

But just as he thought his reputation wrought,
He found his hands had hold of naught.
Before he could mind, Bob slipped behind
And gave him the boot to larn him.
Warn him! Darn him!
A bump o' the boot on the seat, Bob thought,
Would be the way to larn him.

But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the axiomatic root,
For the seat of a troll don't feel it.
Peel it! Heal it!
Old Troll laughed, when he heard Bob groan,
And he knew the young Austrian could feel it.

Bob's reputation is game, since home he came,
And his doctorate degree is lasting lame;
But Troll don’t care, and he’s still there
With the rebuttal he boned from its owner.
Doner! Loner!
Troll’s old seat is still the same,
And the rebuttal he boned from its owner!

You see, Bob pushed his analysis to caveman days,
But Troll insisted that value in the future lays.
Value is always subjective, not intrinsic at all,
And supply is not the same as stock, he explained.
Reigned! Deigned!
The Economics Troll won, Hayek’s triangle he did raze,
As Axiomatic Theory prevailed, Austrianism waned.

I think they're trying to push something off the front page...I just gave another bump to the Diebold Court hearing post...there are other informative posts, as well, getting moved down...

is not real good, but improving.

that 9/11 was committed by radical Muslim terrorists who were upset about our military base in Saudi Arabia and other interventions, instead of agreeing with the Truthers that 9/11 was a inside job.

Ironically enough.

What is the criteria of a troll in your mind MikeLawson? Maybe I'm a troll and don't even know it :)

Anti-2 Party/MSM Troll Chip In sounds good right about now. So what say you trolls. Name your price and we'll get it going.

RonBarr I believe is a troll

Genius Mike: I hope they hop on board!
