Who gets to decide who a troll is? For some people, its whoever just doesn't like what other people have to say; they are the ones who get to decide that someone else is a troll. Personally, I think spamming dozens of false accusations is about the worst form of trolling that there is. Other trollish behaviors include using huge fonts just to make insults and accusations, spamming re-quotes of the the same exact thing to a thread multiple times, and making a large number of low-content posts intended to make them or their accusations the center of discussion. Should we condone this trollish behavior?

Nothing factual in this thread what so ever. Pure bunk.

Can we understanding moral truths by studying the physical universe? I say no. Why not? Can we understand the truths of the physical universe by examining moral truths? I don't think so. Why not? To understand the truths of the physical universe, we must study the physical universe. It appears to me that immoral humans have no inherent difficulty studying the physical universe and understanding the truths of the physical universe. It seems to me that these are two different kinds of truths. Are they, how so?

BTW, your time stamps are off. Which time stamps are off, and from what are they off? I'm pretty sure mingle2 takes care of their own time stamps when posts are made. That's not any of my business.

No, that is not the point. The point is your imposition of a right to judge the actions of another that is really none of your business. It is your propensity to ascribe your values upon another when you can ill be the injured party. And Odumbo by his very acts can't claim to be an injured party. We can keep declaring that our own point is 'the point'... you have a point you want to make, I have a point I want to make. It's true that I disapprove of you calling Obama 'Odumbo', but its not that important. You don't seem to want to talk about the point I was trying to make, that's fine. Well, the only thing here is the agreement to disagree. However, your actions have caused me to be an injured party by trying to deny me my inalienable right of free expression. Trying to imply some arcane label only intensives the injury as a further usurpation of my right. Nonsense. You right of free expression is not harmed by mere criticism. Au contraire, any usurpation of anothers right is an injury. This was not a mere criticism but a demand that use of Odumbo was childish and the application of an arcane label but intensifies that injury. But if you can agree upon this premise, why the problem with the overall concept of truth and perception? There is a considerable issue of language. I may or may not agree with your actual thoughts; I disagree with what I believe to be your intention and meaning, based on my understanding of your words. Again, an area where we are to the point of agreeing to disagree. In the area of language, English has three dialects, the slang of the streets, the formal and informal language of society and the language of law. While most think they understand, in reality they stand under that which they ill understand what they have chosen.

Mindless rhetorical opinions of some nobody writers.

RockGnome, Do you think that it a decent person makes false accusations against others? What false accusation was made? Since you respond with a question, rather than an overt embrace of dishonesty and false accusations, I have hope for you. The false accusations have been made explicitly by Fleta, and have been strongly implied by you. Are you a good person? Are you the kind of person who makes false accusations against others? Again, what false accusations were made? I do love the game of psychology you're trying to play. Problem is, you're not any good at it. Matter of fact, you probably don't even know the source book you're trying to rely on. I do.

This was not a mere criticism but a demand that use of Odumbo was childish and the application of an arcane label but intensifies that injury. Okay, but verbally criticising anothers word choice is not 'usurpation of their right to speech'. I do consider your use of Odumbo to be childish. You disagree. Fine. By stating my position, I don't impose on your ability to behave in a way that I find childish. I'm sure you know all of this, and I wonder if you are intentionally playing at a position you don't actually have, in order to lead the conversation somewhere.

Matter of fact, you probably don't even know the source book you're trying to rely on. I do. Call it what you want, its actually very simple. Some people follow ethical systems in which they reject the acts of lying about others and making false accusations about others. Some people do not follow these ethics. They wilfully lie about others, and hold conveniently very low standards of evidence when accusations fit their agenda. I have no idea what your personal ethics is. But if you are one of those who believe that people should not make false accusations about others, then you should examine your own beliefs and your own evidence before making the insinuations that you have made.

Getting back to the original topic ... Has that alleged large KKK group made to to Ferguson yet? They had tasers implanted and were incapacitated while the true peaceful protestors took to the streets so there would be no violence..
