(Troll) Trouble Brewing?
I'm Taking The Unorthodox Step Of Posting My Final Comment At The BEGINNING of this renamed blog...COMMENT -
Shall we begin by defining our subject?
We shall.
INTERNET TROLL
"In Internet slang, a troll (/tro?l, tr?l/) is a person who SOWS DISCORD* on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by POSTING INFLAMMATORY*, extraneous, or OFF-TOPIC MESSAGES* in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or BLOG*) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or otherwise DISRUPTING NORMAL, ON-TOPIC DISCUSSION , OFTEN FOR THE TROLL'S AMUSEMENT*."
- Wikipedia (*emphasis mine, Mic)
I submit to the gentle reader (and any other interested parties) that what follows below the horizontal line is not the perfect picture of a trolled blog.
And if so, how said trolling was instigated, enabled & accomplished in the astonishingly short span of a very few comments.
The original title is included. The blog appears in its entirety below the line.
No comments have been deleted for the sake of brevity.
The 2nd blog referred to in one of my comments may viewed @ miclee blogs - Coffee Talk
THE ORIGINAL BLOG AND ALL COMMENTS APPEAR BELOW. Judge For Yourselves -

Trouble Brewing?
Do You Have Difficulty Making Good Coffee?
This blog is not about coffee. Or tea. Or beer.
I got that out there so y'all won't have to make puns in the comments.
Considerate of me, no?
It has to do with the timing of certain current events...
1) Israeli F-35s overflew locations in Syria & Iran undetected, including the site of Iran's alleged nuclear goings on.
2) Netanyahu spoke about Iran's alleged nuclear aspirations - (Casus Belli
)3) The U.S. backed out of the Iran nuke deal & announces strict sanctions.
4) Iranian missiles were allegedly launched into Israel from Syria.
5) Israel launched the largest air strike in Syria since the '73 war.
6) Israel will celebrate its 70th anniversary of becoming a nation on Monday.
7) And the U.S. will open it's embassy in Jerusalem.
8) Ramadan (and presumably the attendant annual spike in terrorist attacks) begins on Wednesday.
Is it just me?
Or does anyone else see any potential problems here?

The Palestinians need to accept this unwanted reality. Iran needs to understand that when you are a ferret you ought to not provoke the bear. It is time to deal with all of it rather than allow it to fester on and on.
The U.S. has tried to lead by diplomacy and generosity and it has failed. Now she wants to lead by power. Why not?.......Nothing else has worked thus far.
I'd better go shopping and stock up with apocalyptic food.
