  • Why should it not be allowed?

  • Because it's obnoxious trolling. The person needs a life.

  • Not everything you don't like is trolling.

  • Of course it isn't. But when the site is flooded with her relentless obnoxious anti-republican and anti-Trump garbage it's TROLLING.

  • No it's not.   Few people who throw that word around these days actually know what it actually means.
    Get your netspeak correct and learn proper netiquette before joining a site and throwing a hissy-fit over the content in your first two weeks. Look most of us don't like the early morning Trump rush, but this is bad form and insulting to the user base how you are going about it. There's a right and respectful way to address it and a wrong, fail-troll way about it.

    I agree with your first sentence.  That should be enough to stop it.

    If we got rid of everything we thought was obnoxious, I suspect many of us wouldn't be here any longer.

  • Hi Walter. As an anti-Trumper myself I find it a bit much but have learned to avoid it. But "allowing" or not allowing content that offends somebody would mean introducing censorship that none of us really want.

    aM is a friendly site and you'll enjoy it once you get used to us. Glad to see you aboard.

  • I understand not liking Trump and asking legitimate questions. it doesn't offend me, but it's obnoxious, childish, and uncalled for. I'm not a fan of this site if they'll let trolls run rampant.

  • I'd give it some time, Walter. It's a pretty nice place to be when you learn to tiptoe through the questions without getting muck on your shoes. 

    BTW there's a major problem this morning. Nobody seems to be getting any notifications. It's a temporary glitch.

    Oh, Walter is not a fan of the site if it allows trolls.  Boo hoo.

    You never know.  Rhinos can be quite chameleon-like. :)

    This site is highly censored.  Tell the truth and your answer may disappear.

    Thrifty, you've made me curious and concerned.  Can you cite an example where someone has spoken the truth here and has been censored?

    Someone here called me an a**hole. (True) But you can't insult here. His/her response was removed.
