If you don't think there is a strong concerted effort to Troll liberal sites like DU.....

[Warren DeMontague]

125. There are different kinds of trolls, as anyone who has hung out here for a while can attest.

There are the obvious crash-and-burn RW trolls, the concern trolls, the deliberate divisive trolls, the snark-asm personal attack trolls, the okay quite possibly paid by the word to post by certain industry or interest group trolls...

then there are the sock farmers, the zombies, the woopublicans, the stealth and not-so-stealthy culture hand-wringers and thinly concealed religious right types, often in combinations of the above.

just as some people here are pretending to be 5, or 10, or more, there are some "people" here who are actually accounts passed around among a number of folks. Seen that too.

Then of course you have the folks wound tight around a particular issue or two. Or the folks who have some readily apparent mental illness.

And certainly there's more than a decent share of run of the mill cranks, drunks, complainers and general misanthropes, like me.




It's not so different from the subway at 2:30 AM on a Sunday morning.
