Do You Think More Freeper Trolls Come From The North Or The South?

[DistressedAmerican]

I wonder about this sometimes.

Mainly, because I have seen many get tombstoned (and a few that linger) that clearly identify themselves in their usernames as being from the south or from specific southern states.

I am not making any accusations here. Just wondering if we get more from one region or another.



Freep trolls Wish They Were This Tough. In Reality They Are Spinless Weasels That Lurk In Shadow. No Balls at all.

1. Technically a sewer is south of my desktop

But otherwise, I don't think this conjecture serves us well. The most vile piece of shit that targetted Andy is a dirtbag in Nebraska.

2. Well, if we can agree that Red states are going to be more

heavily populated with Freepers, and all of the Northeast is blue, and Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan are blue, well, is there any other way to see it? I'm all ears!

3. Personally I see it as flamebait

6. How So? I Was Just Wondering. I Think Is A Fair Question To Ask.

[mongo]

12. Because there are lots of good DU'ers who are Southerner's too

and plenty of south bashing on DU.

13. I NEVER Implied Otherwise. If You Read That In My Post, You Have

reacted to your own issue.

I never said a disparaging word about either region. Sorry you are so hypersensitive about southern bashing. It was not my intent.

I explained why I was asking and made it clear I was making NO accusations. Where do you take offense at that?

5. Seems Reasonable. I Guess I Had Not Though About That Too Much.

Guess that means there should be plenty of midwestern (northern) trolls as well.

4. Do we need to bring out a map?

7. Other

I think freepers are more likely to live in rural inland areas.

For example, the coast of California is blue, but inland areas are red. I have relatives in Redding CA, which is growing in population but has a rural history, and that area seems like the towns in rural parts of the mid-west to me.

10. Very Good Point!

The real division is most likely not regoinal but, rural/urban.

8. It's actually just one guy..

named Larry who works as a janitor in Anne Coulters office and has quite the boner for her.

He gets on the web 20 hours out of each day (did you ever notice that four hour period there's no trolls?) and tries to convince people on his Dungeons & Dragons* website that he's part of a large, organized group of anti-liberal bad-boys.

When Anne finally takes notice and he gets in her pants... BOY will he be suprised!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

9. I'm NOT SHOCKED to see you ask this sort of question.

[DistressedAmerican]

11. And I Am Not Shocked By Your Irritation At It...

[slutticus]

15. So you just admitted that this IS in fact flamebait?

[DistressedAmerican]

19. No. Not Every Post That May Be Irritating To Someone Here Is Flamebait.

If it were MANY more threads would disappear.

Flamebait is crap that no one here could be expected to support. Clearly this thread does not qualify.

However, if that is your definition, I guess you can call it whatever you'd like.

[slutticus]

20. We shall see how long this thread lasts...

The fact that you expected someone to be irritated at this thread and admitted it so quickly raises my suspicions.

You speak of trolls, but IMHO, posts like these can end up being far more disruptive.

You know how sensitive this issue is here on DU. Free Republic is in FRESNO...so technically that's a blue state troll generator. Your question serves no other purpose than to piss off our southern members.

[DistressedAmerican]

23. I Do Not See Why They Would Be Pissed. I Said NOTHING Offensive At All.

Some will always react with hostility to my posts regardless what I post. I see it all the time.

That is why I was not suprised by the reaction. Not because it is flamebait.

I will not restrict my postings here exclusively to threads that will not be attacked by someone. I have lots of detractors artound here that make it a game to attack my threads. That is why I expect it. Not the content of my OP.

You need to get a grip. Sorry, you feel like southerners have been attacked. Apparently you take that really personally. But, this is not one of those threads.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. LOFL.

"The person I was replying to has a history of attacking me and my posts."

What, suggesting that you rent a sense of humor is a history of attacking you. Par-a-noia strikes deep ...

[DistressedAmerican]

26. I Edited That Comment Out. I Had You Confused With Someone Else.

My bad.

However, I saw nothing funny about your post. Please explian the "humor".

Maybe it is just me. What's the joke?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

28. Thank you.

I was referring to another thread which is the only thread I
can think of that I ever replied to you in. Peace.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

27. Nice Edit.

[DistressedAmerican]

29. Keep Kicking The Thread. I Appreciate It!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. Not irritated, amused. Know the difference?

[maxrandb]

14. Most Come From "Bizarro World"

[ithinkmyliverhurts]

17. Please, everyone knows that trolls come from under the bridge.

[ET Awful]

22. Unless we're talking cave trolls or mountain trolls, in which case

they come from caves and mountains, respectively.

18. Could someone please enlighten me....

Why is the divide perceived as being northern vs. southern when county maps indicate it's clearly rural vs. urban? Just nitpicking I guess.

[evil eggplant]

30. A few things you don't see much of in the south.

Jews
Starbucks
people with all their teeth

24. People who failed

english and commonsense.
