Subject: RE: BS: On Being Stupid and Making Things Right
Mary in Kentucky, given your comment, I have to for the moment retract my post of 09 Jul 05 - 01:07 AM as I feel I must say this.
Mary, I disagree with you that Guest TLR is a troll.
I believe that we shouldn't rush to judgment about who is or who is not a troll. IMO, a person is not a troll that person writes a comment or comments that is critical {or is interpreted by others to be critical} of some other person or some position that does not conform with another person's beliefs.
Unlike trolls I have experienced here and elsewhere, it is my opinion that TLR was polite in her {or his} comments. There was no profanity or politically incorrect references used in her {his} comments, and there was no name calling.
In addition, she {or he} also affixed an identifier to the name Guest, which we have recommended the folks do who use that Guest referent.
I know that TLR's comments were in response to a post that was directed to me. However, I believe that I would have thought {if not posted} my assessment of her {his} non-troll demeanor if the comments that TLR had posted were supportive of someone else.
That said, I have no intention of continuing what I consider to be somewhat of a sidebar discussion. I hope that others don't continue it either.
Have a good day.
