[QUOTE]Opie,
You have identified the "tone" of this forum perfectly.
If you are in the "majority" of opinion, which in North Alabama is EXTREMELY conservative, a poster can get away with almost anything. ( I could name names, but you know the one's I am talking about)
BUT, if you differ, especially politically or pose an opinion even on the "news" side that does not follow a "mob" mentality. you are belittled and dismissed.
I know you don't live here and I do not know whether you have even visited this area or not, but unfortunately this is the mindset for the Shoals.
You have to belong to the "right" church and you CERTAINLY must go to "some" church, you have to agree with whatever goes on politically and if you are a liberal you either plan your future elsewhere (which is what most young people do) or keep your opinions to yourself and go with the crowd.
This may be one of the reasons this area has declined so rapidly for the past 20 years.
This seems to be something that goes on quite a lot on here and most of it is like Opie stated, you don't agree with his OPINIONS and VIEWS so you want EVERYONE on this forum to start an internet lynch mob.
And it IS the mindset of the "Shoals". Next to the lack of employment, it IS the number one reason your sons and daughters either leave here for an education or to have a life.
Until this mindset changes, and it may be a LONG time, this area will remain economically depressed and intellectually deprived.
OR it could become just one big radical right wingTEABAGGER
convention!!!!!!LOL

Too true, too true.
The worst part of it all? Those same people think it is such a wonderful place to live. That's hilarious! The Shoals is more Gehenna than Eden. You have nothing to offer, and I don't blame the youth for wanting to move away.
I only moved there because I was engaged but after we called it quits I was happy to move back up north where there the churches behave like churches, there is actual urban renewal, and less segregation. For all its problems, Cincinnati is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than 'The Shoals." So bad the internet mob mentality here is, I should call it "The Troals."
As an aside, my now ex-fiancee and I changed the lyrics of "Sweet Home Alabama" to Sh*t Hole Alabama." (as another aside, a registered citizen was also a Lynard Skynard drummer -- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312368,00.html)

quote:Originally posted by CageTheElephant:
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" or "Message Board Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer.
Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.
A Forum Troll is generally a person who is extremely skeptical of the main forum subject.
He is generally interested to make other forum members look stupid. A troll will sometimes use insults to provoke other people to insult him.
Sometimes, Internet troll is trying to spin conflicting information, is questioning in an insincere manner, flaming discussion, insulting people, turning people against each other, harassing forum members, ignoring warnings from forum moderators.
Trolling is a form of harassment that can take over a discussion. Well meaning defenders can create chaos by responding to trolls. The best response is to ignore it,
When trolls are ignored they step up their attacks, desperately seeking the attention they crave. Their messages become more and more foul, and they post ever more of them.
The only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction and not to respond to trolling messages. It is well known that most people don't read messages that nobody responds to, while 99% of forum visitors first read the longest and the largest threads with the most answers.

As, I've pointed out before, during the last decade, Cincinatti lost over 10 percent of its population -- more than any city of its size. Please return, if you haven't, and join the remaining losers who can't find a way out!
Hey! You just described Bill Gray!
