The troll disease. So are you saying you would enjoy the thread more if Joe and Paul left? Since Steve and I often agree with some of the conservatism expressed by Joe and Paul, would the thread be better with us gone? Are you saying you prefer the thread be a leftwing echo chamber?

I seriously am curious to know how you feel because I would find any kind of echo chamber...right wing or left wing....to be predictable and boring. I like reading what Joe and Paul have to say, and don't like that they are frequently called trolls. In fact, I don't even understand what that means. Maybe you can explain it. If someone drops in to express or post something that reflects a conservative viewpoint, why does that make them a troll? And what's the point of the insult?

All of this annoys me. This is why I posted what I posted to Wonk this morning. The sarcasm, the calling people trolls....what's behind this.
