Do you ladies really not recognize the troll posters? They get you every time... rule of thumb, if it is so un-PC or otherwise so inflamatory that a person would never say it out loud then it is a troll looking to rile you up. You can't change the persons mind b/c it is probably fake and just meant as entertainment.

    • Question: do you consider all conservative posts (don't expect wealthy people to fix the problems of this country, typical liberal answer to cutting government spending, pissed about taxes) to be from troll posters?

      • I don't think they're all fake, but since UB is NYC-centric, and NYC is mostly Democrat, I do wonder if it's a small group of people egging each other on.

        • OR: I can tell you, as a former moderate/democrat who voted for Obama, that times are a changin'. Expect to see more conservative thought in NYC from now on.

        • NYC mostly democrat, but I wouldn't say that the majority of posters on UB are democrats. I don't think this board is representative of the city, only a certain socio-economic part of the city.

          • True. After I posted I started thinking that if you're sending your kids to private school, you'd probably skew Republican because of your HHI.

      • OP re finance posts yes. In fact I AM a wealthy NY Wall Street wife with dcs in private. I am the hated here. I'm liberal but live a conservative's existence I guess you could say. I could in fact write many of those posts myself if I 1) felt that way or 2) pathetic enough that it would make my day to watch people get all riled up over it. But I'm also talking about racism, corporal punishment, etc. posts. Some of them are just nuts and I don't really believe in equal rights for nuts, un-pc as that sounds.

      • It's not suppose to be an entertainment website. It's called UrbanBABY. Not Urban-adult-lets go rile people up and stir up drama because we are mean, sarcastic, and unhappy with our lives. Plus, entertainment to one is not entertainment to others. Some of it is quite offensive and when people have genuine problems they get a bunch of sarcastic remarks that are not helpful. People shouldn't use others real problems for entertainment.

    • I post things that people think are from a troll. My opinion differs from the norm on this board and I'm not always pc, but I'm not a troll.
