   I wonder what Religious Left groups will do the same thing?

   Seriously, BD, you don’t mean to suggest that trolling will be the sole province of the right, do you? (Been to Daily Kos lately?) Given that neither the “Religious Right” nor the “Religious Left” really constitute a monolithic voting bloc, are those terms really helpful in the discussion?

   I haven’t been to Daily Kos lately, but you are correct, trolling is hardly a pastime of one side of a political spectrum.

   I was surprised. The level of coverage at Christianity Today is moderate, to see such a low level of discourse surprised me.
   It’s something I’d be more likely to see at Daily Kos.

   Wouldn’t surprise me to see the flip side when CT covers the Republican convention.

   I don’t have a hard number on things, but the readership of CT may well be to the right of the writers there. I don’t think there needs to be targeted “trolling” there; they’ll get that from the natural flow of things.

   It is a bit troubling, since CT tends to be evangelical without being partisan, so it isn’t a place that writes troll-bait pieces.

   It isn’t a place where folks on the hard left tend to hang out, so I wouldn’t expect liberal nastiness on the CT comments barring some semi-organized effort to do so.
