Windsor, ON \u2013 Clint Richardson, age 63, of Windsor, Ontario who has spent most of the last fifty years complaining about life, politics, religion and those \u201cdamn kids that walk across my lawn\u201d to his friends, family and co-workers has recently discovered social media. \u201cI was never interested in those stupid\u00a0computers and Google and the Facebook but last week I went on the Facebook and discovered an entirely new world where I can\u00a0rant about anything I want!\u201d Richardson exclaimed while describing his new\u00a0hobby.
\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI got myself on the Facebook and just started disagreeing with people. It was magical.\u00a0 I can\u2019t describe the elation I had when I commented on a post or a story and just argued the opposite point the person was trying to make.\u00a0 They get so upset!\u201d Richardson said.\u00a0 He continued \u201cI get to\u00a0talk about my 9-11 conspiracies, U.S. politics, the price of beer and Windsor city council.\u00a0 You bring up any one of those topics and people freak out! \u00a0 It is so much fun.\u00a0 I don\u2019t even have to leave the house.\u00a0 Before this I had to go to the pub to reach this many people at one time.\u00a0 I’ve been told by other people on the internet that I am a troll!\u00a0 I love it! I’m a troll!\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked for comment about her father\u2019s new past-time Mr. Richardson’s daughter replied \u201cnot sure what he is up too on social media. I blocked him last week”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
