Theyre turning the web into a cesspool of aggression and violence. What watching them is doing to the rest of us may be even worse.

Look for more of these type of articles.....got to have a valid reason to “regulate” the internet. /s

This damned magazine spread hate and CAUSED violence by it’s inflammatory,and wrong,cover during the Ferguson fiasco.
Yet they accuse the internet of spreading violence.
Pot. Kettle.

“The Left is upset that a whole bunch of right-wingers are able to mock them, and their anonymity protects them from physical-world retaliation by Leftists.”
In other words, they’re upset that others can now do what only they were able to do before the dawn of the internet and twitter.
"and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Did I miss anything?
Agreed. It’s been almost a year since I have seen an Obama bumper sticker on a POS Subaru.
The MSM only like the 1st Amendment and “free speech” whn they use it. They dislike it intensely when the people use it.
Left wing trolls have been a reality for close to two decades on any political site and now social media sites.
Jim Rob and his mods have been booting/zotting trolls before I found Free Republic.
There are probably more long time trolls still left. They are probably the ones, who never like anything posted that is negative to the Clintoons/ObamaGOPe. They post snide remarks that the posts/replies against Obama/Clinton/GOPe are beneath our standards.
They didn’t like the Swift Water Vets, those who questioned Obama’s birthplace, those who challenged Cruz and other GOPe candidates.
This election, Trump can never do anything that is okay with them. They ignore the terrible reality of Clintoon and bash or pooh/pooh posts/replies showing the dark evil side of the Clintoons.
They are only upset about ‘trolls’ who disagree with their agenda.
Though I agree there are nasty mean-spirited people on the internet ... that is the price of freedom of speech. It was that way before the internet as well.
This is all about curtailment of free speech and ultimately, free thought.
These dolts always freak out when anyone uses the same tactics they’ve been using. That’s all this is, Time upset over losing the democrat fascist monopoly on trolls and paid BS artists who disguise themselves as something they’re not.
They do have a twitter account, which I thoroughly trolled when they posted a pro-Islam article.
Concern troll?
Troll == someone who rudely points out the truth to a snowflake, or mocks their complete idiocy
Time Magazine calls for censorship.
Tick THAT one off on my list of things I thought I’d never live to see.
Good troll identifier reply.
I would add using Trumpsters, Trumpettes any other troll modification of Trump voters/supporters.
Another whine of the trolls is “not a real conservative”.
Let’s talk about “trolling”. The MSM will call anything they don’t like to hear or for people to know as “trolling” (the way Time Magazine wants to define it). Was Dan Rather’s “false but accurate” story on Bush’s National Guard records “trolling”? Is the support of Black Lives Matter articles and coverage “trolling”?
Trolling (as I understand it) is distributing information with the intent of inciting some argument or response.
