Also you are one of the worst offenders here in terms of engaging trolls. Do not respond to bigoted comments, especially when they are buried "anonymous" comments which many people won't even open to read unless you engage them. After 7 years at this I know it is a pointless battle to go to war with every single idiotic comment. All the bloggers here do this as a hobby. I have an 11 hour a day, day job so you won't be getting that instant satisfaction.</p> Fajita, Please login to comment. Also you are one of the worst offenders here in terms of engaging trolls.
