    Should tPF add and enforce "trolling" rules?

    Simple "yes" or "no", I don't think there is any in-between that carves out one action and approves others or singles out individuals because they don't use the "thanks" button.

    I will also unsticky it after a while.
    my junk is ugly

    No, it's just a means of suppression

    Absolutely NOT!
    FFS the other thread now has over 330 responses most of which are attempts to simply define what "trolling" is.
    Enforce a no trolling rule and this board becomes a reflection of the mods' opinion and as such becomes utterly useless to all of us...including the mods.
    The fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals is simple.
    Conservatives, like our founders, understand that man has a propensity to do evil. They accept this fact of human nature and have given us the tools to protect ourselves from those who might victimize us.
    Liberals believe that under the right mandates, restrictions and incentives all that potential evil can be bred out of humanity.

    I say absolutely yes in some cases, and absolutely no, in other cases, depending on whether the moderator is a friend or foe of the offender in question.

    And therein lies the problem as I'm sure was your intent to illustrate.

    Look at those votes. Clearly there is voter fraud happening...how many of you had to show a photo id? I bet NONE of you. Shameful

    I told the lady I had already voted 17 times but she said that was okay and that she'd give me a pack of smokes if I'd vote just one more time.
