  Definition of a troll- walter map- troll alert

  This is what walter map's reponse was to my post:

  RWatkins

  "If your argument is that the solution to the stupidity of a Bush type of government is terrorism than we are in real trouble."

  walter map

  You're hallucinating.

  RWatkins

  "As citizens our responsibility is to change things in a lawful way and not through killing our own fellow citizens."

  walter map

  Then explain why you still keep that Tim McVeigh shrine, wingnut.

  I read some of the other responses of this walter map's and I am trying to decide if this person is for real. It is one thing if someone gets into the heat of a debate and writes certain things and it is yet another thing if someone does not agree with your position. I have no problem with either. I have no problem with someone attacking me or the writer or anybody else. Hopefully they will do it with some respect but if not, then that is fine as well. What I have a problem with is people who write things for the sake of writing or for the sake of being a s*** disturber. Are they not called trolls? After reading some of walter map's other comments I realized that he is indeed a troll. Thus, even though I do not post often (I do read Salon regularly) I have learned my lesson and I shall avoid this troll. Lesson learned. One of the people (Lotus ) suggested that, in jest, that water map, seems to know everything. Even in jest, walter map is no Cliff Claven. He is a troll.
