Subject: RE: BS: Right wing Relatives
"I've asked this before, but why the heck do right-wing trolls inhabit a site devoted to songs (largely) of the oppressed? "

I have analysed the logical structure of this sentence and I cannot see on what basis MtheGM thinks this means 'anyone who happens to like folk music but doesn't buy the entire lefty package from Marx to Castro must be 'a troll'. One might logically infer from the original comment that *all* right wing trolls inhabit one or more sites devoted to songs etc, but not that they all inhabit this site. The sentence structure implies they have a choice of sites. However I cannot see how it can be taken to mean that all non-left wing persons are trolls.

Perhaps this is an example of distorted right wing thinking?
