text: Yes, Mark, he's on a half day today!!
  
  Last week it was nearly 200 posts out of 650!! When you add the posts of the other 'Catholic' contributors,  it is often well over fifty percent of any given thread.
  
  The responses to me on here when I pointed it out ranged from, it's representative of the demographics at the US elections, they provide alternative viewpoints, we just have to put up with it etc.. 
  
  When you consider that most of the rest of the posts are in response to these trolls, well, it leaves very little debate at all. 
  
  NCR can't do anything about it (staff shortages) so the only other options would be the rest of the blog votes all their posts as uncivil or everyone refuses to debate them.
  
  Failing that, they will simply continue to be 'occasions of sin' for everyone else on here.
