Deliberately is the key word - and posting a picture that comments on Bush's war policy is not deliberately trying to stir up trouble. It's not different than starting a thread by claiming "Bush wants to attack Iran now that he attacked Iraq." The post that stirred up trouble here was the one calling someone else a troll.

True.
But they're also really close to a lot of other problem hot spots that they seem more than willing to let the US take the lead on, which leads me to believe they're serious about Iran because Iran really is a credible threat, otherwise they wouldn't get their hands dirty messing with it.
Bush could never get a war with Iran off the ground anyway, not without major, and I mean frontline, major joint help from, Europe. And not just because we don't have the man power to help with such an action, because really we do, we'd just have to pull it from other theaters of operation. Publicity wise, even his own party would revolt if he launched another go it alone war. The cartoon is silly and unfounded, but slightly amusing just because it's so out there.

Has there been a point other than being rude, inflamatory, and coy in your postings on this thread, TomDavidson? Don't you pretty much troll on every youngster who appears?

Thanks aspectre for your honesty. As you said:

And cudos to Occasional said to Tom D's statement that "I'm fairly sure that a number of his posts have not only been deliberately rude but also inflammatory. And he's coy about it, which suggests he's aware of the potential. Those two traits in combination tend to trigger my trolldar."

As I said yesterday:
quote:TomD can call newcomers and others trolls because he is Hatrack member #124 and king of the Hatrack forum.
Although I don't post much, I still read the forum from time to time and reflect on what members say.
In your pompus piety, TomD, you might think of yourself as the "king of the Hatrach forum," but with your thinly veiled "rude and inflammatory" comments you truly are the "coy" king of the trolls. Your nearly 25,000 posting experience suggests you are "aware of [your] potential."

Leaving all else aside, since certainly even the ignorant are apparently entitled to their random speculations on motive, I feel I must point out that I have never claimed to be and do not think of myself as the "king" of Hatrack. Some people tend to project their own insecurities onto what they erroneously perceive to be my comparatively secure position, and this leads them into error.
