Meat made a post a few pages back that really got under my skin, though I doubt that was his intention. If I was here to troll, I'd have been long gone by now, either by your hand, or mine out of boredom.
I'd think that except for the fact that when a question is asked, like I did earlier in this thread, you don't answer. My original post in this thread was something along the lines of stating your opinion was a slippery slope and how would you even begin to define it. Eppie made some stabs at answering my question and he's not even FROM this country. Instead you drag in examples that have nothing to do with the matter at hand and point at that dog and pony show to deflect from what you originally said. (See Godwining the thread by invoking Hitler) Those are all trollish behaviors.

And my ultimate point was that it's best to minimize the restrictions on freedoms like Free Speech. (I didn't realize that I would need to summarize so early into the discussion.)

No I'm questioning whether you've learned anything in Political Science. The view from the cheap seats is that if you have learned anything, even if you disagreed with it, it didn't STICK with you.
I shouldn't have to research your point for you if you're getting a degree in this stuff. Stop spouting, do your research and come back with a well thought out and supported argument.
