Those "Bot Spotting" boxes piss me off every time I run across one.

I'm pretty much at a point that unless I recognize the name on the OP I tend to not trust it unless it links to reputable media sourcing. DU and every other online forum seems to be full of new names spouting a lot of divisive or outright outlandish crap that can't be verified in any mainstream media, and that renders it useless to me.

YMMV.
