Excuse me ? The Dispatch and Daily News before them created a space for people to comment on stories .  They welcome comments . If people are responding where they were invited to respond---why do you call them trolls ?  Using your definition you must consider yourself a troll as you are commenting as well . The only difference is you are offering nothing to consider except you don't like others who do.  I do want to thank you for using a bike trail.  We built the roads for motorized vehicles and bike trails for bikes. If everyone used what was made for them there would be no conflicts . Thanks for doing your part.
