Why does someone sign up today and post a two year old article in breaking news?

Because you signed up today
(1 troll point).

Posted a defamatory article without a warning in
the subject line like (Tinfoil Hat Alert) -
(1 troll point)

It's apparently not even a new tinfoil story
(1 troll point)

So, with 3 troll points, it's not surprising that some
readers have mistaken you for a troll.

On any forum/BBS, whatever its inclinations, it is always
a sound idea to register and lurk for a while before

making the first post. Even then, start by posting
responses, and not base articles. Trolls are a problem
on every forum I use. Some are quite clever, and the
user bases are growing weary of them, and often jump on
innocent newbies in error.

Yes, maybe you should.

A hint you may want to remember for future trolling: try not to say anything really goofy until at least the day after you sign up.

Good idea. DU would be a great choice. BTW, ZOTS are good.
