DD> Obviously the trolls do not agree with you. Is your opinion more valid than
DD> theirs?

Nah... Not any more valid when I hear about US politics when I'm not 
American. Sure, I can skip that nonsense.

Hitting the Next key is a valid response... But when that becomes a frequent
occurance, I believe I am not alone when I ask, *why is the troll even here*,
when such troll could find much more fufilling enjoyment trolling on the
Internet? Go troll the comment section of pro-Trump websites for example?

Fido is such a small silly hobby that a fraction of the world still enjoys... 
the fact that we have a troll, its really just a sad expression of that 
person's emotional unbalance. Possibly alcohol, a dead wife, who knows?

Again... we are a small enough network, a community of sorts... its been well
proven that you can run a "free speech system" from which a troll can post
and usurp an Echo. But really, whats the end goal supposed to be? Are we
all supposed to be impressed? Lets clap our hands for your free speech, when 
the rest of the Sysops of this small network are just fed up turned off?

If your response is going to be "Just hit next", then I feel the point is 
being missed; *We shouldn't have to hit Next because we are a silly hobby 
network in 2019 that is lucky to have a Next key*...  and keep in mind I
defended against Bob Seaborn's attempted silly censorship of your messages.
