Last I checked, this is the POLITICS echo, not the CONSERVATISM or ANTI-VAX echo.

Before accusing someone of "trolling" please be sure to familarize yourself with the definition of the term:

troll: someone who leaves an intentionally annoying or offensive message on
the internet, in order to upset someone or to get attention or cause trouble

If opposing opinions or having your own opinions challenged by facts
annoys or offends you, perhaps this is not the echo for you.

troll: someone who leaves an intentionally annoying or offensive message on the internet, in order to upset someone or to get attention or cause trouble

Merriam-Webster:

a: to antagonize (others) online by deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive comments or other disruptive content

b: to act as a troll on (a forum, site, etc.)

c: to harass, criticize, or antagonize (someone) especially by provocatively disparaging or mocking public statements, postings, or acts

I'm pretty sure many of us, conservative or not, would describe your
behaviour as fitting this description. Here's an example:

<Squawk!>Lefties always this!<Squawk!>Lefties always that!<Squawk!>

If opposing opinions or having your own opinions challenged by facts annoys or offends you, perhaps this is not the echo for you.

There is a huge difference between having a different opinion, and mocking another's opinion. If this week hasn't taught you that, I don't know what
will.

Everybody has the right to offend. Whether intentional or not.

In an echo devoted to POLITICS, those who are easily offended really
have no business being here. OTOH, sadists do enjoy masochists, and
vice versa, with little or no complaint. In fact, both seem to enjoy
it so much (some to give, others to receive), they can't stop
themselves from coming back for more ...

Those are both political subjects, which seem more appropriate than computer hardware subjects.

Conservatism is the only thing that can save America. "We saved America once, and now we're gonna have to do it one more time."

The vaccine is being forced on unwilling participants, by Democrats. It's not anti-vax, it's anti-forcing-of-the-vax.

America has advanced ny going forward, not backwards.
