                Releasing, was closed due to the trolling getting too great.

                Please restrict your trolling some, thanks.

                    I'd say the ability for learning, communication, tool-usage, and a lack of reality TV.

                      If they were serious about stopping trolls Ben would get banned.

                      I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                            This is a distinction without difference.
