Peter Rost exposed the identity of the heckler - known as a "troll" in blogging parlance

Oh common, its a common tactic: pose as a troll to stir things up and make the other side look like loud, obnoxious idiots.

umm...yes of course, but it's not quite so common for a senior staff member of the actual site to be exposed as being the troll...that's the entire point of the article.

It would be somewhat similar for Jim Robinson or another Free Republic Overseer to be exposed as a troll here at FR.
