Troll

[Ken The Kanuck]

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.

Somehow they think one of their many entitlements is to be entertained by the rest of us.

Pat, after reading many (too many) of Sandpebble's and Togor's posts all they seem to want to do is "sow discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people".

I too will often have a different point of view with other posters, but not every time. It is getting old.

As I said if we would stop feeding the xxxxers they will go away as it is only attention that they seek, not a intelligent exchange of thoughts.

We should be capable of keeping care of this ourselves and not need big sister.

Hi Sam! I'm doin alright these days. My arthritic spine is stiff and aches, but my wife lets me just loaf around doing nothing all day but drinking Ale and eating whatever fine cooking she creates in her kitchen.
We're building another big ol patio way out back out of about 150 tons of rock and stone. This one will have an upper and a lower patio with two big ol pools, a natural spring looking fountain, a Seven foot waterfall, about a 30 foot winding stream. It'll be great when it's finished because I could use the rest.
How've YOU been Sam?

And if given the "boot" they will just come back under different user names and continue. I feel the 2 mentioned above along with maybe one or two others are the same person. Every time one responds the other responds as well. Like mentioned many times here the "ignore list" is a good tool to have.
