(60,686 posts)I wonder if it isn't one designated agent of theirs who trolls the blogs under several different names. It sounds a little over the top to speculate about that kind of thing, but after reading Seeds of Reprisal, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing Monsanto does. His/her/their job is to do nothing but remain dormant until until something negative about Monsanto shows up on any of their flagged blogs, and then attack it from all possible angles under a few different names. Then radio silence until the next Monsanto issue shows up. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that someone there developed a program to alert their troll(s) the second the words "Monsanto," "Roundup," "Glyphosphate" or "GMO" show up, just like the NSA picks up the words "Allah" or Jihad" out of all telephone conversations.
