Do you block the trolls around here?

Have you noticed that we are getting more and more people on this site who are here just to be disagreeable? They aren't here to debate, they are impervious to logic, and they like to make rash statements without providing any data to support their loony magical thinking based theories or by offering links to dubious or down right contradictory articles that actually disprove the point they were trying to make? I've had it with them. I tried just avoiding or ignoring them, but they seem to want to seek me out and try to start an argument that they are ill prepared to actually be having, so I now have a half dozen shit stirrers on my block list. Is anyone else having the same problem, or am I just a douche magnet?

I'm suprised at how few trolls I have encountered here

I must be really thick skinned, all I've noticed is lively debate and funny stuff, still thanks for the heads up

I would hope Admin wouldn't remove anyone here for having apposing political ideas, of course, no matter how much it may bother someone.. As long as you're polite, you should be welcome to discuss such things.. The people here that would block you for not being a Liberal, aren't worth discussing anything with anyway.. I joined a great group on FB called the Conservative Atheist. You're probably already a member. It's funny watching the people that get on there just to troll, and end up getting embarrassed.. We're a rare breed for sure. It's awesome seeing how our numbers are growing though.. Cheers

The administration puts up with fowl vulgarity when it comes to bashing Trump but people who defend him get kicked off the website. I’ve saw it happen.

no, i do what seems appropriate but I would if I needed to.

So far, I've just been avoiding and ignoring them.

Is it that only women are attracting these guys? No offence ladies. That's what I felt after reading all the comments here.

No I had one removed from the site but she managed to block me. I agree as we grow in membership we sometimes see posts with arguments. I'm reporting anyone who gives someone else a hard time.

The frequency is increasing as our membership does. I blocked my first yesterday.

I haven't run across any blatant trolls here yet, and I'm here a lot. I haven't blocked anyone either.

I tried blocking Trump but he just won't go away.

I had one whom asked a ridiculous question. I looked at the persons profile and they were open with the fact that they were "a believer". So due to their honesty after I asked myself why they were on the site I indulged the question. I was being baited and knew it but if they were in fact here to learn and have discussions then so be it. If they were simply trolling they would make it obvious themselves.

I think I'm having that happen right now in another thread. Had another this weekend and he got really insulting and I reported him. And I did block one.

I block people that make my day worse.

As the site gets more popular, we'll of course get more trolls. At the moment, @Admin is doing stirling work in finding and killing them, however.

A lot of the people on this website are ultra left wing liberal Obama lovers and Trump badgers who often get pissed if you don’t go along with the way they believe.

That attitude is why I just blocked you.

^^^Hahaha... see... this is how you get rid of the trolls and the jerks.. ^^^ If they block you because you're not a liberal,, they aren't worth chatting with anyway.. lmao

They must be gluttons for punishment if they keep coming back to you for more.

Sure, there are trolls. In every discussion venue, especially online, we will meet those folks who look to promote their own opinion and/or bash others, and some of them can be downright rude.

It's hard sometimes not to take it personal, but that's the best we can do. Nasty words are harmful only as long as we let them be.

Just a douche-magnet. J/K
I've noticed a few lurking about. I haven't blocked anyone yet, but that doesn't mean I won't.
