“Cheap insults”

I am not aware of making any “insults” to you, but I am aware of your insulting me with the baseless insult where you are falsely accusing me of being “you Obama trolls....” Given the fact I’ve always been an opponent of Obama, you are obviously using a lie to incite the kind of an argument which pro-Russian trolls prefer to use when they attempt to disrupt and derail a discussion which is critical of Putin and/or Russian activities.

“Cheap insults to those who question your opinion are the way you Obama trolls operate.”

You are simply lashing out with another incoherent bashing and ad hominem attack to stir up a dispute and once more change the subject away from the topic of the news article, which is the activities of the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency and Russian Internet trolls in general. Perhaps you can explain how your comments are supposed to be somehow relevant to the topic about the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency. I do not see where I have expressed a so-called opinion about much of anything in this thread, because it appears to be pretty much a matter of record that yourself and others have tenaciously posted comments about everything but the topic of the news article, the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency and Russian Internet trolls in general. It also appears to me this habit of yours and others where you post comments defending Putin and Russia while also criticizing the United States and its allies is consistent with the activities of a pro-Russian troll and a matter of factual record rather than anyone’s opinion.

“I laugh because those you accuse of being Putin trolls on FR are explained by this poll.”

There you go again making another false statement in a bid to incite dissension and change the subject away from the criticism of the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency, Putin, and Russia. I actually have commented that I have no way of knowing whether or not any given poster is or is not a Russian behaving as a troll. I also said I can only observe whether or not the behavior of the poster is consistent with the behavior of a pro-Russian poster. A reasonably objective measure of whether or not a poster’s behavior is pro-Russian is the ratio of comments which defend or criticize the activities of Putin and Russia and the ratio of comments which are critical or defensive of the United States and its allies. In your case as in others the objective measure of such ratios is overwhelmingly pro-Russian and anti-American, and little or no subjective opinion is required to formulate an observation of such a bias on your part.

It is a mystery why you would think such a poll, concerning an alleged public opinion about which subject is perceived as the greater threat to most Americans, has anything whatsoever to do with anyone having the impression of you being or not being “Putin Trolls.” I can understand how a pro-Russian troll would use such poor English grammar to formulate such a comment in another attempt to change the subject away from the topic about the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency and Russian internet trolls and towards a divisive argument about an unrelated poll.
