I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.
Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?
I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?
For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.
I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.
Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

Jeez..now it’s not even safe to lurk in the background..
Most of us here know ansel12.
Sometimes we agree with him, sometimes not.
But he's a good regular poster on FR, and a bona fide Conservative.
You, on the other hand are a relative n00bie, with a trollish posting history and a demonstrated inability to read other FReeper's histories.
So it kinda boils down to this:
I’m sure you’ve heard of the “unnngh” thread. It’s comingup on 4,000 posts. Just as funny as this thread.
If you have not heard of it, here it is.

Was your sister STUNED??
about this.
LOL
I can’t even find one of my son’s account. He signed up in 2004 I believe but has never made a single comment. He reads F.R. fairly regularly but says he won’t comment because he types too slowly.
His screen name is “ironman73”. (without the quotation marks).
I’m always classy.
I had heard that about you...
...I guess I just didn't want to believe it!

We've got 'im! That's just what someone who has posted four times would say!
Maybe it was those flapjacks from St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast... where I stole the margerine. Riding my pygmy pony along the boredom line with my Zircon encrusted tweezers.
Just let us know when you move to Montana, soon.
And I’m green-eyed.
We should start a religion.

I think that David Icke has the lizard thing pretty much nailed down.
“Or plan a murder.”
Well, I don’t really care. I have been flamed, threatened to be “zotted” dozens of times for disagreements, personally attacked, called a liberal commie, told to leave and never come back. I never report anyone, perhaps I did once. Doesn’t bother me.
Point is, not everyone here is going to agree with everyone else. If we did, it wouldn’t be a healthy website. As for the whole free speech thing on forums, it’s kinda like this: lots of people become offended over words, swear words, etc. Keeping the dialogue clean, and wholesome is taking the high ground. Which people admire. There are sites out there that you can basically say anything you want. I’ve even seen a website where racists are allowed to spout the most evil garbage and hateful things you have ever seen towards our dark skinned brethren. Disgusting, no one wants to go to places like that. It was the most hateful website I have ever seen. I don’t mean to compare it to FR. However, dialogue deteriorating into unintelligible hate rants is not productive, and turns a lot of people off to your cause. There’s literally no reason for it. But bans for opinions on GOP([e]whatever) candidates I do disagree with.
Anyways, you’re dead spot on for “vanity” posts like this. I go a few months just lurking every once in awhile, then something breaks and I’m back discussing.
If the author of this post cannot pony up names, posts, dates, etc. Then the post should be deleted. Or be marked as a general warning to “watch your six” around here, that there likely (confirmed) are paid trolls, shills, and malcontents here to spread discourse. Divide and conquer. Standard covert psy-ops. It’s naive to think that there aren’t, as FR has helped break some big scandals in recent American history. There are also important conservatives, liberals, commies, capitalists, etc. Watching, reading, and I suspect, even engaging freepers on a daily basis. So seriously, watch your six.
I have come to the conclusion that a new music genre should be included, as the Zappa genre. As his music does not really fit nicely into any of the genres currently defined. Since his music seems to contain what may sound like a certain genre at the beginning, and then evolving into yet another. That other may not even be suitable for any of the genres currently defined. That's what makes him interesting to me, and from what I gather, so many others.
Enlightened1 is a retread troll using a sleeper account, that has at least two vanity threads that he will not return to to face his provacations.
He is one of the Paul nuts who signed up for a dormant account, and then activated it about a year later.
Enlightened1 why won’t you return to these vanity threads of yours where you were accusing long time freepers of being sleeper accounts?

Hey, you deserved it, as it was very creative indeed. I laughed so hard I just knew it had to end right there. It was complete, and thus finished. Leaving me completely finished!!!!
