I want to make a comment here regarding "disagreeable" people on other Terri threads. Not too many are on this (the daily) thread who are unfamiliar with the case, although we do have a couple of known trolls who pop up occasionally just to be a nuisance, but on the threads that get posted as news items there continues to be a lot of of uninformed individuals who feel the need to share their misinformation or lack of understanding with others. Not all of these people are trolls.

I know I have made this point before, but I think it is important that we not take for granted that FReepers, just by virtue of being on this site, know the facts of this case. Many don't, and it detracts from what we are trying to do if we attack everyone who is diasagreeable or ignorant as being a troll. Granted, there is no shortage of them either, and I think because we are so focused on this issue that it easy for us to lose our perspective in relation to those who are not.

There is a good case in point. If you haven't already seen it, I urge you to read this thread (I know a few of you posted on it), particularly the comments by and to "The Other Harry." Be sure to read them all, and I think you'll understand why I made this post.

I agree with you in theory. I just want to add though that I think it is important to make sure we are aware of the source, because I fear not all trolls are designed to do the same job. I have said this a bunch of times and some have agreed with me, I suspect there are some trolls on this site who are working for the Ms team and I fear they are a bit more dangerous here than the average nay sayer and /or, devil's advocate. Two of the posters I suspect as being trolls early on have been banned. I think I am on the right track. One of the posters I suspected was a troll , had indded disrupted a very helpful e-mail loop set up for Terri's supporters, to the point it had to be shut off for awhile.

We may actually be playing right into their hands, all the while we think we are helping Terri. Trolls may take time to present themselves as advocates for Terri and gain our trust and then lead us down a path that they control. They have already established this a an MO in other places on the web.

I blieve this is the motivation for some of the trolls. Othersposters on this site ,and other sites who have experience with the same trolls we are having problmes right now , agree, we need to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

I think it is important, for those of us who are following this story daily, to share what info we have with established freepers who may not be able to follow the entire thread and pick up on some of the subtle errors and misdeeds of these "MS" Trolls. We could at least point out a suspicion and let them decide for themselves ,before they get involved with leg work or phone work for the said "suspected" troll, and / or encourage a bunch of other peopel to do the same.

We know they are here. Think it is far fetched? If any of you were MS and Felos , wouldn't you be too?

And I'm very sad to say, one of the idiots who posted that he agrees with dean, and admires him on this issue, actually is a real freeper. I met him at a rally meeting. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but nonetheless, a freeper.
Yuk.

The misidentification of someone as a troll happens when an uninformed person shows up with a writing style and MO that are similar to a known troll.
