Jeez, I think I have minimal difficulties finding the Trolls on Free Republic.

It isn’t for “trolls”. It is to identify and quash conservative activists who have purpose.

After calling Nancy Pelosi an infected rectal wart on twitter, she’d have to be a moron to miss me.

Slashdot's pretty good at dealing with trolls.
> Jeez, I think I have minimal difficulties finding the Trolls on Free Republic.
Some days I could almost believe that FR's mods encourage (or at least permit) certain trolling behavior, depending on topic.
But then what do I know? :)

They’ll spot me in just one if I actually post here what I am thinking...
To: Gaffer
It could certainly be used that way.

Sometimes I think they find me...
This is a simple agreement or conformity algorithm. If the poster disagrees, then they will be labeled a troll.

Too bad they apparently can’t spot poor grammar.
It’s “FEWER than 10 posts”, not “less than 10 posts”.

Breitbart is a messy site with videos running in side bars, pop ups everywhere etc. My computer often freezes up when I’m there. They need to clean up their act if they want to be taken seriously.

People misunderstand just what is a red line. A red line is aline that indicates a minimum expected and encouraged activity.

“...which compared anti-social users, or Future Banned Users (FBUs), to more cooperative commenters, or Never Banned Users (NBUs). Nearly all of the 10,000 FBUs studied commented at a lower perceived standard of literacy and clarity than the average, and this standard only declined until they were banned.”
And...here we were worried about the NSA and Net Neutrality.
