(8,660 posts)113. troll is as troll does.
i try to read posts with an understanding that tone can be so subjective in the written word. something that 'sounds'-to-be troll, may just be awkward wording on the part of the poster. that said, rw talking points, most if which are easily identifiable (now that ed, rachel, et al are playing clips of them), scream 'troll'. there's nothing wrong with criticizing dem lawmakers, although i tend to refrain from doing so, but i think that doing so using rw language informs me as to the poster's sensibilities. personally, i have come across very few identifiable trolls since i joined just after dubya got re-elected.
as for negative posts, constructive criticism is fine, but criticism for criticism's sake is unnecessary, imo.

Personally I enjoy the paranoia of some in regards to low post count

It is content, not count, that matters. So some with high post counts are duplicitous
