They're just not constructive, just noise.
So call that what you will.

I won't call Jon a troll because to me a troll is doing something on purpose to get a reaction. Hell, I should know.
Jon's not doing that. He's expressing his often bigoted, exclusionary, fear-based, violent and closed-minded beliefs honestly. It boils down to this - if someone does anything that Jon doesn't approve of, they should be executed with extreme prejudice. At least he's consistent. I understand his opinions are often not constructive, but that's who he is and he's the one who has to live with all that fear and hate.
