[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1386075, member: 103369"] I've seen this on other message boards, and it's a shame the same problem has to exist on a hunting and shooting forum where many people should be of (relatively) like mind, or at least ideologically friendly to pro gun causes. But apparently even here there are trolls. When someone shoves their way into another person's thread and deliberately tries to derail conversations by responding to every single post, arguing and acting like a horse's rear end, that is hard core trolling. On other sites you actually have paid posters who work for moveon, peta, etc. whose job is to troll and spoil. Here I think the motivation is intrinsic. PA has plenty of people like that. When I bought a big tract of acreage out in Western PA, I had the same kind of guys show up and hunt my land after it was posted. When I'd confront them, they'd say things like "we've hunted here for 50 years, and you're not going to stop us". Then when I did stop them, they'd come back after I drove home, and they'd cut down my trees and poach deer. Because that's the mentality of stubborn know-it-alls who think they are special and are offended that newcomers don't give them the unquestioned awe and respect that they think they deserve.
