1. He's been here three weeks and is already attempting to control the site

Also, he has accumulated 7 hides. I miss the days when obvious trolls were banned swiftly. This place has become a cesspool of newly signed up trolls and lit up transparency pages. At last count, one poster has 19 hides.

3. Wow. That troll business is really true. The obnoxiousness is epic.

I've had a grim view of this country for a long time and Bernie's campaign has lifted my spirits for the first time since the news about what happened at Abu Ghraib became public. I thought it would actually throw that vile neocon destruction of Iraq off course (silly me) and it's the last time I got my hopes up about anything to do with the political reality in this country before Bernie came on the scene. I have to admit that all this trolling stuff (and the Brock payouts to internet demoralizers), as well as all the voter suppression, is bringing up all my old grim, disgusted feelings. Anyway, there is a funny side having to do with a person with so few posts telling other people to get off the site. Jeez. (I know that I also have few posts but I'm no troll! Bernie all the way.)

7. Lots of Hillary supporters do not believe in free speech. That is being made very clear.

11. Outsourcing troll jobs, too?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Reading that OP, it appears the troll either lacks basic language education or English is not their primary language in the first place.

You'd think the Clintonites would at least keep the troll jobs in the US.

If you'd been looking for a fact for decades and still hadn't found one, you'd have a different outlook on life.
