There is so much to be learned here

Let the trolls in, answer their questions the way you have done mine. Let them see and understand what I have.

I know there are some angry people here, but it's easy to read through their meaning.

I have learned so much about the other side, life , politics. Do what liberals have always done. Educate us through examples, explanations, facts. It is so interesting and educational. Don't ban me, embrace me and others with your knowledge.

Understand their fears, because fears can look like hate. Stay above the frey.

ok, leave our English alone, don't correct us cause we can't spell. Deal with it cause we learn from you.

Together we can unite.

just my feelings

don't ban me

3. Are you saying that you are a troll yourself? Or are you saying that we should let trolls in...

...and "understand" them because they have angst?

Or both (because you say "us" and "we&quot ?

but if others were here they would experience what I have. They would understand how important the ACA is to them, and so much more. When I have asked questions I get not just an answer but an example. It is so uplifting. I want others to share

5. The very definition of "troll" actually precludes their ability to do anything but disrupt, sadly

We don't mind people who just want to learn, as you claim. But trolls just want to disrupt, which is why we don't like them.

and need to be educated? I'm not claiming what is said is cast in stone, but it does make one think or it should

7. I don't think you understand the concept of trolling very well. Trolls aren't here to learn.

If someone honestly comes here to learn and wants to change for the better, then they are not much of a troll. A troll is someone that disrupts the flow of conversation, tries to derail a discussion, posts to divide up the populace of a forum...never to unite it.

Why would you be banned? Can you explain why you feel like that might happen? Elaborate some for us as to your concerns.

Thanks.
