I swear, sometimes this place makes me want to slap someone.

Every time I make a comment on a political post, one of the common notorious trolls will come out of nowhere and start talking shit. I am so sick of it. Yeah, welcome to the internet, I know 🤷🏻‍♀️. I should be used to it by now.
I myself just got trolled. I admit it was hurt some for a moment but a moment is the only energy I can give it. The majority of the members here are kind, empathetic folks.
@OogieBoogie Very well said. Thanks!
@mysteryespresso oh sugah, don't get me started.

Trolling is trendy.

They aee it as "cool"

Since when is being a bully cool ?!

But no.... they say "I'm notoke this in real life ' I'm actually a nice person"

Seriously!?...so being a bastsrd online is just a side line ?

They actually qualify as psychopaths. Gathering together to decimate a person. Supporting each other no matter how bad their posts/ethics or whatever are . I've not seen one back down , forgive a stranger , even acquiesce to a compromise.


I wonder about them ....ate they that tough and brutal in real life?

Or are they just a coward compensating online ?
@OogieBoogie I think many are like Trump, deep inside the narcissism and bullying lay a fearful, trembling child filled with self-loathing.

No one should ever have to get used to bullying, though.
@SubstantialKick Very true.

I am just keep flagging them until they get banned.
Peaches · F
@Miram No they don't, I know hackers here that have had several accounts and I'm still counting. I could name names right now but it would do no good. Most of the "good people" have left.💙
Miram · 31-35, F
@Peaches 🤔 I want those names.
Peaches · F
@Miram I'll find my notebook and send the names to you later...maybe you know some of them. 😎 I edited this because I had too much to drink last night. 😐 I rarely get on line when I'm drinking, but when I DO... I talk too much! 🤪
Peaches · F
I NEVER get used to being bullied and degraded by people there that don't like me because I don't follow "Tumpty Dumpty." That "Rouge" dude sucks at being impartial to someone else's option besides his own.👎People before politics please! 😏
@Peaches Oh I blocked him long ago 😂, it's actually a different guy. It seems like every time I block one troll, another one crawls out of the woodwork.
Peaches · F
@latinbutterfly I KNOW, 😠 because the owners allow too many accounts. 👎

I know just how you feel. Now imagine them sitting in dads old recliner in their parents basement. unkept hair, sweat pants UGG slippers and surrounded by empty pizza boxes and jumbo drink cups..
Does their opinion really count?
CestManan · 46-50, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Oh there are a few on here who are NO DOUBT like that.

I don't mind a good trolling here and there, but the politics is what made me stay away for 6 months.
Peaches · F
@Gentlequill Well then you'd LOVE a few regulars here.⭐ Sorry!🙃I had to edit this because I was drunk last night and shouldn't have come on line...🍺🥃🤪

I saw that. I was able to get that guy to block me. These political trolls only harm the site
@deadgerbil It may be one reason why so many have disappeared as of late.
Fauxmyope2 · 26-30, F
I agree! Facts are facts! Willful ignorance has no place in public discourse.
wackidywack · 22-25
this is why I barely engage in politics

To be frank, I've noticed an influx of trolls concurrently with the Yahoo Answers migrations 🤔
Fauxmyope2 · 26-30, F
@SW-User I haven’t been on here for over a month. Actually, tonight seems really tame.
@SW-User Did most of them leave? I know there was one who I thought was really nice, who got banned not long ago.
I think I confused and pushed away my troll by simply "{Hearting" and not reacting to his barbs.
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
It happens. I just choose to ignore at this point.

One can't please everyone.
you like politics it's not bad but if you like the wrong guy it's bad. You must understand their point of view
@mysteryespresso There is getting your point across, and there is being a jerk. Some can't seem to do the former without doing the latter.

Never before has politics been as it is now. It is a blessing i find to be totally inept at conversation.
Use your powers to make them miserable. Then when they break the rules or law turn them in.
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
Does mute or block count as a slap in the face to trolls?
HannahSky · F
Not worth on those posts. They go nowhere.
Gawd, I understand that. It’s one reason I rarely initiate political posts, although I occasionally respond to the ones I agree with. Most of the trolls have either blocked or been blocked by me, but occasionally a new one or one that I missed crawls out from under his or her rock. 🤨
@bijouxbroussard This should be a place where we can feel free to express ourselves, without being judged. I guess that's asking a little too much, obviously.
Fauxmyope2 · 26-30, F
@bijouxbroussard I am trying my best to do the same. I have not signed on in a while because of it. I have zero patience for willful ignorance, dogmatic rants, denial of science, denial of proven facts, racism, chauvinism, and insane rage. Their brand of White Evangelical Christianity is an abomination.

For real though
