I've had a few commenters lately who want to use the opportunity to comment as a chance to get up on their soapbox and express their liberal views. I don't mind if you try to factually and logically address a post, that's why I allow comments, but if you want to go on some anti-war rant or kvetch about how right-wingers never listen to reason, etc... go someplace else and do it.
I welcome disagreement when it has something to do with the post and has some logical and factual basis. Otherwise, I'm just going to delete your comment. Lately, I've started losing my patience with these types of comments and I've been a little rude. I'm not going to do that anymore. (At least I'm going to try not to do it.)
In case you haven't noticed, this is a Blog for Bush. If you want to go on and on about your own opinions, get your own blog!
Oh and just in case you haven't figured out the politics of this blog, let me give it to you in a few short sentences...
John Kerry - Flip Flopper. Talks out of both sides of his mouth. Will say anything to anyone to get elected.
Michael Moore - I can't think of anything to say about him that would be appropriate to write here.
The Media Elite - The NYT, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN. In the old USSR days you would've made Pravda seem like a real honest publication.
People Against the War In Iraq - It's too late for that. We're there until the job's finished. Get over it and move on.
People that Think We're in Iraq for the Oil - I wish. Then I wouldn't be paying almost 2 bucks a gallon!
France - (See Michael Moore)
People that Think Bush Lied or Misled the Country - He made the same case as the Clinton Administration - would Bill Clinton ever lie?
All The People Coming out with the Tell-all Books about Bush -- Gee you think the fact that it's an election year and they want to sell books has anything to do with it?
People That Think GWB is Evil Incarnate - Hey I don't always agree with his decisions, but overall he's a decent guy and he's done a good job. If you can't handle that - go somewhere else.
Okay, I think I'm done ranting for now.

Posted by: Guy S. at July 1, 2004 02:25 AMThis is one of the things I think about all the time. I don't want to just "preach to the choir", but at the same time, my blog is Christian and conservative, and most people read it for that reason. If dissenters remain civil and make important points and observations, I'll let them stay. If they want to complain about conservatives, as you described, I start to get impatient with them. If they call me names for any reason, they're gone.
I lost my temper once with a commenter who was merely challenging some of my assumption. I felt that he/she (fake name) was deliberately missing my points. I banned the person. The person e-mailed and asked why. We cleared things up, I unbanned the commenter, who's returned.
Fortunately, trolls are rare for me. There is a persistent guy named David, who I think enjoys irritating me. After feeding him by responding to his e-mail, I now ignore him. He has one of those IP address shifters, so every now and then, he posts a comment, which I delete.
All things considered, I'm glad I'm part of the blogging phenomenon!

My blog is less political in nature and more anti-establishment around our neck type of blog.
So I have not had the enjoyment of a troll.
