You are confusing two different things, that I post on a thread, and whether a thread created by a troll to distract or disrupt is "legitimate". My post on the thread does not legitimate it. I think it is fine to post about the coming zot, and sometimes we leave such threads up because they become funny, but to engage a troll who doesn't even bother to come back to the thread to debate is to simply encourage future trolls to come back and do the same. An 80 post thread where the troll doesn't even come back for the discussion means that we have been distracted from other pursuits, to the joy of the troll. If you have something to say that is important, and which other Freepers need to hear, you have better places to provide that information than in a troll thread. IMO.
