I agree with you Little Hawk, we shouldn't be afraid to discuss subjects that are controversial. However, I think the anger here (at least for me) are the threads and comments that are intended solely to get under the skin of the folks around here. Using bigotry and hatred, trolls are more often than not successful in getting many of us (I've been guilty as well!) to respond and get into an argument. They don't really have an opinion on the subject, they just want to get things stirred up.

I am more than happy to agree to disagree on subjects that you and I disagree on (this one included), I just think that many of the issues we're discussing in this thread have to do with trolls who don't care nearly as much about the opinions they are stating, as they do about prodding people into reacting to their extreme statements.

Just a thought,
Frank
