I have no problem with you being queer--if you are. That is not a failing. But being a Toady! My, my! You ought to be ashamed to be such a weakling!

After all! YOU who ran into the arms of a detested TROLLL for comfort! If you cannot argue effectively and decide to play tag team with a troll when you are stretched on the canvas....you ought not to be surprised when others justifiably treat you with some disdain and light mockery.

Trolls are scientifically proven to be sadistic, psychopathic, and narcissistic. Their only purpose when they troll into threads is to insult and taunt because they seek attention. Basically, they function at about a 12 year old level of interaction.

When you feed the trolls in order to escape from your inability to fashion sound argument, you open yourself to legitimate criticism and indeed to contempt by association. When some jackass dumps "your mother wears army boots" a dozen times a day on a thread and all you and Brumdum can do is "rec, rec rec!!"--then you have surely earned any opprobrium you receive.

"Birds of a feather..."

internet trolls are indeed “Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists”...".the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls areprototypical everyday sadists." ...
