I don't think we should have censorship. If anything, if anyone thinks it's a troll, they can respond that it is one. I tend to space out once I see someone say "troll". But sometimes even if it's against your opinions and well stated, that can be valuable.

Having a devil's advocate makes for a much more rigorous debate and a stronger, better fleshed out idea. That's key.

So I don't think we should censor them out.

We've got upvoting and downvoting for comments; it'd be nice if there was such an option for threads, but I really prefer the court of public opinion to an administrative banhammer.

<---Look right there, just outside the text. Big secret #2, the forum has an up and down vote system. Downvote drivel and move on.

There was a time only a few weeks ago where if you said something that no one else knew about or had never thought of on their own, you were considered a troll. I've seen the live feed at times when people were talking about bull shit like dates, pizza and other crap and when someone interjected with revolutionary ideas, they were considered a troll to the idiots that had the stage. It is amazing how those who haven't done the homework hold it against those who have made a career out of doing shit loads of it.

ah, let them speak. people need to see what they believe. this is the only way they will realize they are the minority. watch the post, do you see mostly negative replies or supportive replies? they can only take so much.

it has no place in this forum, it shouldn't be at the top just because people reply...perhaps if people click "report troll" it should bump it down a few lines

Isn't there someone in charge that can police the speech on this forum?
