    He's a troll!
    That's the way he rolls.
    You either see his cards or fold.
    No point in moving to another thread.
    There's more of them to mess with your head.
    Misogynists and religious nuts.
    Others on about budget cuts.
    The mark of the beast and President Obama.
    Come and join in and see all the drama.
    Now I don't point the finger at anyone.
    Just sayin' my piece then I'm done.
    Is there any end to this war of attrition?
    How do you force a troll into submission?
    So hard now to have a friendly chat,
    without someone tellin' you where they're at.
    Republicans and Democrats too,
    all in here to argue with you.
    I just wanted a nice game of chess.
    But there's so much to get off your chest.

    Very nicely put!
    Relationships here should be docile
    but instead, they are often hostile.
    Reason why I hesitate
    to be active and participate.

    Here's the definitive word on "Trolls":

    "An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people..." (7 minutes more and well worth everyone's time) -Bob

    "Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

    Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.

    Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by mere words." (end, part one)
