Don,

What do you think “it” is? I have tried many times to stimulate an adult conversation and each time the trolls have taken over the threads and made each attempt fail. I have tried many ways to respond to them and none have encouraged them to any adult responding. I think a quick look at this page will show you the names of some of the most persistent trolls.

I have searched my mind to discover why adults would spend their time blocking useful conversation and I have come to the conclusion that they want attention, they have very little accurate information to form adult responses , but most of all, they seem to have strong masochistic needs. I have begun to respond to their insults and infantile blocking tactics with abusive responses because I believe they want to be verbally spanked, humiliated, embarrassed and generally put down. I keep spankding and they seem to like it and keep coming back for more. However, trolls are not mentally quick, creative, knowledgable, or verbal so they merely feel the pain, apparently enjoy it, and come back for more. I am not a sadist, so I will stop the spanking after I have been able to further test this hypothesis. For now, verbal spanking seems to be what they want.

I am serious, what do you call someone who trolls and what would you do to keep them from infecting one thread after another?

You use the word, plants, what do you mean by that?

Do you have some thoughts about how trolls could be managed so that mature discourse could happen? Please let me know.

You did the same thing with the question I asked, you have avoided answering it! I'll refresh your memory! Why did Obama continue to lie about the cause of Benghazi? It's a simple question! Yet you talk about insult and vile language. Instead of answering my question you tried to insult me by calling me a troll and ilk. That's fine because names don't bother me. You do to others what you claim they are doing to you!
Some will come to your rescue, however do you really need to be rescued.
If you do ever answer the question try not to use the double talk. Use specifics as I did for you! Have a wonderful evening!

Again, right now there are thousands of miles of oil and gas pipelines. When there are that many pipelines you can find a few horror stories.

I find it hard to believe in this day and age of hired gun lawyers and drummed up hatred of all oil companies that the Nebraskan farmers have to put up with a drop of oil not being cleaned up. Please provide a link so I can research it.

Again, this oil WILL be used and WILL be transported. The Keystone pipeline is by far the most environmentally responsible way to accomplish that. I do not know, but I am guessing that all property owners impacted by this pipeline will be more than well compensated.

And the construction workers building the pipeline will do extremely well, as will all of the auxiliary businesses that will spring up to house and feed them. Our glorious President always speaks of the magical benefits of infrastructure, yet he obstructs one of the largest infrastructure projects of the present.

you do not over-regulate the hand that feeds you. because of over-regulation, manufactoring iz almost non-existent (this country needs to increase manufactoring 15 to 20%) and now we pay for stuff that we did not make. how do you buy stuff with no job??? when a company takes the high road and screws the entire system (employees and procedure), thatz when you knock them back down...you DO NOT assume that they are going to do it anyways and knock them down before anything has happened. all you blithering moronz who think that our system iz based solely on greed only...need to leave and go to a country where thew word greed does not even exist. you'll be back here in less than a week!!!!
