Charlie:  Thank you for taking the trouble to research and post my comment.  

40-20, however, doesn't really have a reading comprehension problem.  He has been "trolling" this RG site since its founding.  He's been suspended from the site several times.  He simply changes his screen name and continues his trolling with those ad hominem attacks.  I'm not the only, but certainly one of his favorite targets.  However, I'm often not quite sure how to react to those trolls.  Should I simply ignore them?  Should I defend myself from his lies?  Should I identify his comments as trolling posts and invite others to "check the record" as you did?  

It seems that the new "civil conversation" format is less effective in eliminating such obvious ad hominem posts than Disqus was.  This concerns me.  As I've often stated, I'll discuss any issue with anyone, anywhere and at any time.  However, I don't want to engage trolls.  As the warning says:  DON'T FEED THE TROLLS      regards, Gary
