I think I figured out troll, those are people that just like to start "doo-doo". but I see the "k" and "poe" and don't have a grasp. I like the site, can be interesting sometimes, but it seems to have its own secret code, also.

    Poe states in reading the written word that it is difficult/ impossible to differentiate between someone who is truly advocating an extreme (read as fundamentalist) position and one who is ridiculing that same position. According to Poe we rely on the context and signals in verbal communication to make this distinction.

    Have no idea what K is, in respect to R&S... PoE is a fallacy in logic, stands for the Problem of Evil. If atheists don't believe in god, then the concept of Satan/Hell is irrelevant as well.
