It's an 180 degree inversion. I write a post - right or wrong, it's a cogent post. Actual content. The response from some people is to post I Can Haz Cheesburger FAIL pictures or recipes. Which behavior is the Troll behavior? But it's the POST that gets knocked and the disruption that gets praised. I write a little more about the cognitive problems at Kos here... http://stranahan.com/2008/08/09/massive-fail-how-the-kos-community-got-edwards-wrong/ The weird thing that happened on Kos is that the system that was designed to ban trolls through community action actually became the means of tromping down dissenting opinions.

I believe we were both at the Gnomedex where Edwards spoke. That kind of event will not be happening soon again for him. A couple of years in political exile then maybe he can enter the arena again. 1) The Enquirer has been wrong lots of times, so many probably thought caution was in order, 2) Many on the Left didn’t want to believe it (your point, well-taken), 3) However, blogs on the Right were all over the story from the start, so was Drudge.

I find myself caring for someone I met at the gym because she has a tough home life. Yet I do not like being needed by her. I don't enjoy her company yet I find myself doing things with her. I also need friends but I feel strangeled in this relationship. I have compassion for her circumstances but there is no flow. How does one break off a friendship?
