I have to ask, in all seriousness, why was this guy labeled a troll? I admit the length and rambling nature of his/her post was bad form, but maybe, just maybe, they wanted to present real info, and was far too excited (excitable?) to properly address the issue.

The threat may be real. We know the big rocks do occasionally hit Earth.

Couldn't we have taken a moment to calm the poor poster down before just yanking their account? Before zotting, too?

I'm not trying to be Chicken Little here, and I'm not particularly alarmed, but what's the harm in knowing if we have a real issue here? Or not.

My first reply was 8. Did you Zot yourself? I started reading and before I was finished he got Zotted.

I thought troll were DUers or other liberal trash. This guy doesn't fit that mold. I mean, he may be a whack job, but I dont think he fits the troll model.

"I thought troll were DUers or other liberal trash. This guy doesn't fit that mold."

Sometimes they masquerade as something they're not to try and suck us in. Usually they have a history which Jim and/or the mods know by their ISP. I suspect that's the case here.

Jim, does this one have an aka sheet?
