Pros And Cons Of Trolling

Decent Essays
I've had enough and my tolerance has worn thin. I have been preoccupied with personal issues in my life as well as trying to get this site running properly, but not so busy that I haven't noticed the growing amounts of trolling posts. People say "trolling" is a derisive term and it is. I don't use it lightly.. It's a term reserved for those who purposely want to anger others and get people off their message.

There are two of you in particular that have been disruptive purposely writing posts to needle people. This isn't a "Rand Paul" site although we do promote him shamelessly. However, the main purpose of this sit is to promote the ideas of freedom and liberty and that includes other candidates other than Rand Paul. There is ZERO chance that I personally will be voting for Donald Trump. I don't think he's in anyway shape or form a liberty candidate. That being said, if Trump supporters came here to point out areas where Trump gets it right on liberty and their argument was sound, I'd promote that to the front page. I don't believe any one candidate is perfect, but I do expect them to be on the right side of liberty 90% of the time in order for this site to promote them.

The Donald Trump trolls, and yes that' what they behave like, are not showing where their guy stands with liberty.

If you want to post about well thought out ideas with a centralized message of liberty and done so in a polite manner you are welcome here. But if you are here to post one liners and derisive comments with the intent to misdirect the conversation, you've come to the wrong place. Breitbart is ripe with that kind of conversation and I'm sure you'd be welcomed there. If you can not abide by the civil discourse rules of this site then you will be banned. As it is, I will be deleting any comments that falls under the category of deliberate

    In the article Virtuous Arguments the author John Duffy argues that Rush Limbaugh and other Republican luminaries use logical fallacies rather than ethical, logical, and honest arguments. John Duffy’s article stresses on the value of teaching students to understand their emotions and communicate with their peers through writing and rhetoric. We have only to look at our leadership to understand how incivility and rudeness have taken such a hold on the American culture. The disrespect paid to each other in the Congress of the United States and the sheer contempt many of those leaders show toward the President and his office are almost palpable which is why I strongly believe that there should be more emphasis on academic writing and rhetoric…

    Freedom of speech has always been a topic of conversation on whether or not we really have it, or it’s portrayed like we do so the American people can be content. There is plenty of proof on the fact that our freedom of speech is actually being taken away from us. Even now as our generation is more open minded, it doesn’t mean that we allow for anyone to have what they think is right, heard. Then whenever we question that our right is being taken away, we are meant with critiques that we are just babies and Liberal snowflakes that don’t really know what it is to not have freedom of speech. There are cases like with what happened with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, which was taking a stand by kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest against…

    The Hell You Say: Critical Analysis In this article originally published in the New Yorker, Kelefa Sanneh is giving us a very objective view of free speech and the two sides to it. He points out that on one side the liberals are arguing that there should be some kind of limit put on it so that people don’t get offended. On the other hand conservatives are arguing that free speech is one of our most fundamental rights and there should be no restrictions placed on it. He illustrates the arguments made by the two sides but fails to make an argument of his own and write a coherent essay.…

    Even something as unchangeable as race or gender is looked down upon with agonizing frequency. Regardless of anyone’s beliefs, no one is obligated to think as another does. No one should be obligated to fit into someone else’s idea of the perfect person. Rand herself vouches for people seizing their individual rights. She does not want to make anyone a slave to her, nor does she want to be a slave to anyone else.…

    The famous phrase, “the pen is mightier than the sword”, is something that was cherished in America and still is today, but in a different way. I grew up in an America where this phrase was the very passion that was threaded into every American’s vein, it was the silver lining for every opinionated citizen and the only shred of dignity we could possibly possess when all else was lost. But, today it seems like the pen has lost its might and has turned away from healthy arguments and open discussion and to a new reign of closed mindedness and a world where only one opinion exists. The liberals that once fought for freedom of speech, are now the ones fighting against it.…

    I was first exposed to republican ideas near the end of my freshman year, when a couple of upperclassmen approached me and my friends at lunch and asked, “Do you dudes want to join young reps?” For as long as most people at Benjamin Franklin can remember, students did not take the Young Republicans seriously as a club, and neither did many of the members. It was an open secret that the Young Republicans cared more for being contrarians than actual republicans. Admittedly, I was one of those phonies.…

    Just because someone’s view is different from yours, doesn’t make them wrong or their intentions hurtful. In “Problematic: The Battle for Free Speech” Peter Wright, he has the same view on “safe spaces”. Wright states that safe spaces” creates an atmosphere that conflicts with the intent of higher education (which is the furthering of participant’s education and strengthening critical thinking) and the rules of the College as a whole.” One of the main purposes of college is to force you to have conversations about opposing viewpoints. In every class in college, there are open discussions.…
