I am tired of arguing with so called "trolls," not because they disagree, but because they are dogmatic and refuse to listen. I would like to be able to discuss my ideas and thoughts with someone who disagrees with me, without it being heated, and with people who use reason and logic instead of throwing insults and hatred at me.
It's annoying, but try to bring up a topic that is not about them.
Remember the rule: don't feed the trolls
Looking forward to a real discussion topic from you.
Self righteous people are destroying the world. Politics, religion justified greed. Its great to acquire wealth in a responsible way. It is truly the American way.
Is there such a place? Where things can be discussed without resorting to name calling and 'Im 100% right, you're 100% wrong' attitudes?
Please show me where this eden resides
So what issues do you want to discuss?
I concur. I try to ignore them, but I do get sucked in once in a while. As a counterpoint to reason, they can inspire your own thinking to refine your ideas. Post those ideas without responding to the trolls directly. This is what I am going to start doing: if you respond to one, limit it to saying why you think they are a troll (racism, violence, etc.) in a single word and don't respond when they reply.
