No, you're too busy doing SMART posts.

BTW -- is it established tradition in here to change the name of people you're responding to in your quotes? Because if it is...

Then I'm sure glad I didn't say something like: "Hey Jovial, who's the gay guy in your avatar?"

That would have been awkward....

Actually, that did happen. Ma and Pa Kettle smoked a lot of pot in their day. Their great grandfather, John McCain, was not pleased.

We all know who these trolls are. But why do they do it?

Vote, then comment. And thanks.
the new (neo) left politics:

"If you disagree with 'me' ..."
  1. you have nothing good to say about your own candidate.
  2. your momma enjoys spreading fear, pestilence... and probably cooties.
  3. you're a committed neocon,
  4. you're a troll and I'm not
