Well looks like my thread got nuked, so I'll put my vote and comments that were asked for here. Nuke this thread, nuke me. I don't care.
Yes, Bear is a troll. Maybe not in the generic internet forum meaning but certainly in the original literary meaning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll
Every time I read one of Bears rants I picture an unseemly ogre who lives under a bridge or fallen log somewhere. A simple, nasty creature who only devours and destroys what he touches.
While he may have his supporters and while he may occasionally offer something of use, I consider those like him to be worthless, whatever good they may occasionally offer is completely and utterly negated by the venom and destruction they bring.
This post may offend some, but I have never been one to politely ignore the elephant in the corner and he latest round of chyme in this thread is the last straw and I am done biting my tongue
Bear is the single reason I spend less and less time on this forum, in fact this will probably be my last visit.
He is also the reason I don't recommend this forum to many folks. As I stated previously, his rantings make him the the perfect poster child for gun-control. Clearly a lunatic devoid of rational thought and incapable of intelligent communication. He cries like a 6 year old in his tantrums calling others 13 year olds. He cannot present a thoughtfully formed response to any post counter to his opinions and when pressed resorts to name calling and bully tactics. He is not doing gun owners any favors.
Maybe troll isn't the best moniker, but it seems like it fits to me.
Farewell.
