In any discussion, the point is to find truth; what we believe or think of as truth is secondary

Honesty, reason and logic, but most all humility: that is the formula for debate on any issue. As humans, we must tirelessly seek greater insight and knowledge. Truth is all that matters. A "troll" is someone who cares nothing for truth: That is the best definition. How can you tell a troll? Someone who resorts only to insult in reaction to comments. A troll is someone who offers no counter-arguments or evidence against comments yet condemns them. A troll is essentially a playground bully. A troll is not someone whose arguments annoy others, if they have a solid base in provable facts. Simply dismissing by source any evidence is lazy and irresponsible, being a troll. Showing where that source has been inaccurate or lied is crucial to true debate. Getting to the truth is the point of any forum, like OPP.

This is an excellent topic to discuss....honesty and truth and I will add, integrity!! You claim that a troll is someone who cares nothing for the truth, but most of the time, it is one's opinion, not truth or facts! It is very clear that your truth is not my truth. You call my insistence of being 'completely' truthful as being devious and divisive! Yes? Your conception of a 'playground bully' is someone refusing to play by the rules that you choose, rules that I consider having no integrity!
When you use multiple identities and lie when you're 'called out'..... truth no longer is part of the debate. Your debate is over and lost!! The new debate becomes ,Deception! You can't continually preach truth and honesty, while not practicing what you preach! Do you not see my point?
Sunday night you created a thread that disappeared during the night. You informed us that you are Administration and stated that many would not like your changes and would not be around long. I was on your list. I don't want to go, but I won't be bullied by you, nor will I trade my truths for your half- truths. This is your 'truth' thread and I answered with my 'truth! If you are who you claim to be and kick me off OPP!?? Good Luck and God Bess!!!!
