The Breakdown…

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

32. As to the man, the demographic suggest it, if nothing else.

Most internet trolls are male, and I agree that the tone of the letter is full of testosterone. So I'd give it at least a 90% chance of being a guy. I'd say a 95% chance that it's someone with at least one DU account. I don't exclude the idea that it's a 'conservative troll', lots of them also have accounts on DU, Daily Kos, and other liberal blogs. But people who like to 'twist the knife' to this degree like to be up close and personal to witness and delight in the turmoil they create and be able to nudge it along. There are no doubt conservative trolls hanging out at DU, and posing as both Bernie AND Hillary supporters. Keeping divisiveness going doesn't require you choose a specific side of a divide, just slightly different tactics for each. And while 'birds of a feather' flock together, you point out the reason why it's likely just one person - the more people involved, the more likely the 'plan' falls apart, and somebody 'blabs'. So while the alert stalking might be multiple people, the letter sender probably acted alone.
