My forum has now been cyber-terrorized by someone calling themselves Bin Laden Jr. Is this weird or what? Some people are just cowards with no backbone whatever I guess. I came over here to see if this was happening here too. I guess when you say what you actually believe there are always going to be people who just can't handle it. Some gutless wonder just can't bear to impart his own beliefs so he lashes out at others. Somehow I just can't understand why people like Bin Laden, and Bin laden Jr. just can't just come out and have a rational discussion. Maybe it is because they are irrational.

Hey Lil Bit, if you ignore him he will most likely just go away. If he is really a major pain, delete his garbage. You know how to find the dns# and all that in your administrator functions?

Hey Little Bit he was on the Countryside site last week, and guess what Ken let him post to give us a different view. But yet now he said that we could no longer post about 9/11. Makes me wonder about him! Tracy

Hey LBF, take heart and stay the course. There are some real trolls out there and you seem to have found one of them, or he found you. They pop up in the strangest places, and the best thing we can do is ignore them, and go on with our lives. Their attention spans are quite short, and they find other legitimate folks to pester. Is your site OTL or is it safe to go there? Is the troll picking up individual addresses and being a pest on private e-mails?

Little Bit Farm,

Never underestimate the power of your enimies, whether they be bin Laden, ben, JR; or the devil himself.

I have been seeing a lot of posts using the words coward, cowardly or gutless here lately. I contend that this is exactly what they, our enimies want to see. You see they are not cowards. They are in fact consumed with thier own convictions, to the point of death I might add. They know that most of us are not capable of thinking like they do. So all they have to do is to get us a little bit (no pun intended) frustrated, so that we resort to some low level name calling; and they have won. Whenever we call them cowards, we are stuck on the name calling and not addressing the issues. At that point we have nothing left to fight for. They do not think like we do, and we cannot understand what they do or think. That does not make them cowards any more than it causes us to be defeated.

Religeous FINATICS, might be an appropriate term. Some of us have been exposed to a few of them in our lives, be they low level and half baked.
