evmori 11 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 n Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] That's you Merlyn! What untruth am I telling? Link to post Share on other sites
GernBlansten 10 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think all of Merlyn's posts are on-topic. Yes, he is inflammatory, but at least he keeps it on topic. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make him a troll. Link to post Share on other sites

What untruth am I telling? I keep telling you, but you can't learn things. Ed, you're being dishonest in your accusation that Dale was dishonest. Link to post Share on other sites
DeanRx 69 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah ! - Once again Ev and Merlyn have disintigrated a mostly civil debate into a name calling contest. Way to go guys I like pie. Link to post Share on other sites
Merlyn_LeRoy 72 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I haven't been namecalling in this thread at all. I've pointed out that Ed is being dishonest, but like any other line of argument, it's important to point out actual dishonesty to have a coherent discussion. Just because some people might use "dishonest" as mindless namecalling is no reason to avoid the term when it's apropos. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Your entire purpose of posting here is to incite, Merlyn. You have no interest in the BSA other than to tear it down. AKA a troll. No dishonesty from me, just fact. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 My understanding is Merlyn could care less if BSA survives or not, he just wants the BSA not to receive benefits from any tax supported entity Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think Merlyn and Ed are actually an old married couple. Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki 11 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hey, Trev, let's not start insulting old married couples: Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You are exactly right, I hope to be half of an old married couple someday, in the far distant future of course and there is no reason to impugn such a lovely franchise that once included my father and mother.
