my fiancee is being detained

I don't want to offend anyone. However, I see this type of ridiculous posts lot lately. I am wondering if moderators should look into trolling. Painful to read...

Hello!

What does "trolling" mean as it is being used here?

Trolling refers to a provocative comment someone writes

Actually it's more like intentional baiting based on false premise/story to incite the forum.

[Boggy1974 124]

By Consequence, or train of thoughts, I understand thatsuccession of one thought to another which is called, to distinguish it fromdiscourse in words, mental discourse.

When a man thinketh on anything whatsoever, his next thoughtafter is not altogether so casual as it seems to be. Not every thought to everythought succeeds indifferently.

— Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, The First Part: Of Man, ChapterIII: Of the Consequence or Train of Imagination

So what are you talking about with your "trend" of thought?

Like your quotes above actually. It's a good trend of thought. "Train of thought", "trend of thought", "train of thought", "trend of thought" & "train of thought"? Doesn't make much of a difference really.

What I am talking about is finding helpful, practical & productive advice for the OP. Next topic and moving on!

Boggy, the phrase is NOT "trend of thought." You look silly correcting someone who was not incorrect. You started this ridiculous tangent.

[Jon and Krissy 452]

By the way, it is 'trend' of thought...If we want to be technical and nitpick.

What planet are you from? It IS "train of thought." "Trend of thought?" Never heard of it.

I'm willing to wager it's "Kolob".

You started this nonsense with providing "advice" by correcting something that was correct to begin with (OP's grammar notwithstanding)

We have here asylum seekers that were tortured or flying from dangerous zones etc. But to use the system "to buy time" as you said is despicable, to say the least.

I bet she didn't arrive in the USA to seek asylum, she came here to visit you and then everything went damn wrong and she came up with this bs about asylum.

ICE good job!

Actually admitted to stretching to truth to buy yourself time to apply for a marriage visa huh? I'm sure you'll get lots of sympathy in a forum of full of people sitting in two different countries waiting for ANY response from the govt for months on end. I guess even artistic French actresses have to go to immigration interviews.

[sjr09 155]

I've heard of "Train of thought" never "trend of thought". It could British. Just like I never heard of the word "snarky". Had to google & found out it's a British term.

Always learning something new. Just like learning how one cannot seek asylum because of perceived racism in a modern European country especially being an actress by a profession.

You know the silly talking British... They may have in invented english, but we perfected it

Train of thought IS correct. Trend of thought is correct too. Google both. They're both in the Webster's dictionary. Doesn't make any difference in the bigger scheme of things --i.e.giving OP good advice (if in fact she's not trolling).

The point is NOT to correct him, but rather urging him to 'try' to understand OP and provide any helpful advice. My position is that, we have members who do not speak english as a first language(agreed notwithstanding OP's writing abilities), so poking fun at her writing skills doesn't help.

I'm not going to characterize what you write or say as "nonsense" because that's not how to engage in dialogue, much more it will degenerate into something else of a sideshow. You and I can go back and forth all day, about who's right and who's wrong it wouldn't help OP( at this point my feeling is OP is trolling).

Boggy has a history of ridiculous posts, derailing remarks. I do not recommend responding. Just read his history of posting. I tried to contact moderator due to number of incorrect advices that he/her provided intentionally and provocative posts but never got a response. Just ignore.. Again, I urge moderators to look at potential trolls. They spoiled this site lately big time. In addition, their advices may be taken seriously. Please, pay attention. This site is turning bad. I've been a member here for several years now and always found this site helpful. Never seen such a huge influx of trolls, etc.

HT, train of thought is correct. Again train of thought IS correct...trend of thought is also used. Search both. It is an awkward way of saying let's not nitpick OP's language because she may not speak english as a first language. It's now clear to us both that OP was either trolling or had a language barrier as she's from France?

Yeah I know...we can agree that trend of thought is awkward. It doesn't help OP is my point.
