You can boycott by using the ignore function. It is really easy. It looks like to me you get more satisfaction over opining about ignoring than you actually do about ignoring. There is a poker expression that describes your dilemma... Chit or get off the pot. Ignore what bothers you or stop effing whining about it.

Nope, I'll continue to register my views as I wish, when I wish, until the troll is gone.

Question... why should your so called "troll" go anywhere? Isn't he simply "registering his views" (albeit different views) just as you are? And, how can you call PB a troll and not Brooklyn (for one) a troll as well. Oh I see, you agree with Brooklyn?

You do understand the irony of your position? You repeatedly opine to boycott stupid and then you violate your own advice. Whatever floats your boat. There is one poster on this forum I boycotted years ago. Maybe you and I have a different definition of what boycott means. When I boycott someone I actually boycott them. Not telling you what you should do. I'm just pointing out the irony in how you go about yer bidness.

You must not have read all my posts on the topic. I've mentioned both 'hard right' and 'far left'.

But we don't really have any rules about 'trolling', just personal attacks against each other...which does understandably happen when people get fed up...and some of that being 'fed up' is brought on by the trolling.

I do think that Brooklyn's posting of cartoons and such can be 'trolling', looking for a reaction...and more egregious can be some of his sharp commentary to go along with the humor...I've reacted directly to some of that over the years, for instance pointing out that not all Republicans are Trumpists, etc.

I mentioned his posts specifically in the discussion on trolling. We also have been discussing some trolling that happens on the lax threads, deliberate insults to 'troll' for a reaction. That trolling, and the lack of control of such, has apparently led a longtime contributor to leave the forums altogether.

IMO, much of this is just jabbing at one another. Jostling. Bearable. However, reduction of such would be better IMO.

But a world of difference between the incessant, relentless use of misinformation and disinformation tactics employed by PB.

Seems to me that it adds absolutely nothing to have constant lies, just a detraction to civil discourse. Doesn't matter whether it's left or right. Just happens to be that the hard right's sociopathic, egomaniacal Der Leader has given sociopaths license to the worst sorts of online behaviors, "flooding the zone" as Steve Bannon called it, with lies and anger. PB's a prime example.

nope, PB's been over and over and over again guilty of flat, outright lies.
Obvious lies. On their face.

tech, you don't do this. At least I haven't seen you do it.
While you do spread some things that are highly questionable as to their validity (IMO!), far as I can tell, you do so from a position of sincerity. You think they are worthy of consideration. Big difference.

You contribute to the discourse.

Again, this discussion is best in the administrative section.

I seriously doubt all that. Chauvin will likely be sent to a country club prison where he'll get daily pedicures, pleasant back rubs, and weekly mailings which include checks from PBA groups all over the USA.
