That's such a great story, Truthie. And I thought it was pretty cool that frozen embryo babies and Tony fans are called Snowflakes too!

I always try and remind people that there is absolutely nothing preventing private firms that can do what they wish with regard to research.

I think we're talking about three different posters here, Miss Marple.........or two separate ones, one with two different screen names.

The one you're referring to is clearly a disruptor with serious personal problems (clearly anti-Catholic).

The two or one previously referred to are vile atheists who hate President Bush because he is a man of faith.

(Then we can add the guy who posted horrid, sexist things to me, and all in all, we have a really happy thread there, don't we? :)

I'm all for jonny reporting his findings to the Mods in a freepmail. What say you, jonny? :)

So, would it be advisable to notify the Mods on that thread of our suspicions, or does it need to be done as it is happening?

I would feel better if we had something more substantial, but our suspicions might be the all the evidence we can get.

There are legitimate dissenters here, I know, but sometimes when they swarm a particular thread, I wonder where they all came from.

Some may or may not have multiple screen names, but don't overlook the possibility of paid and/or volunteer operatives for the multitude of political groups out there. Somewhere I read that Soros money has been used to set up paid (and volunteer) propagandists whose job it is to surf political sites like this and spread their message.

Agent provocateurs are as old as the concepts of disinformaton and propaganda. I have no doubt that some of the less reputable groups across the political spectrum are using the internet for such purposes. Heck, we certainly know from news reports that Islamofacists are doing it. So we shouldn't be surprised if other ideologically and/or hate-drive types are doing the same thing.

They are simply trying to create discord...The poster is a disruptor.

That's precisely what such people want to do -- create discord, spread doubt and, they hope, peel off voters. You are very astute, Miss Marple. :)

From what you all have said about the troll, though, it doesn't seem like he really wanted to do that. Sounds like he just wanted to stir the pot and be provocative.

Yep. He screamed "zygote!" several times. And when he was ignored, he became more hysterical: (paraphrase) "Address my point about zygotes!!!"

BTW, is it "zygote" or "xygote"? It's been a while since biology :)

There have been quite a few experiences we've all had lately; I see with some really ugly freepers and posts. Well, mine were mostly just stupid vs ugly.

I think if Jonny got the right mod, there might be traction. A few years ago a mod freepmailed me out of the blue and said something about a few projects he was working on to determine if a couple of freepers had multiple screen names. I'd just been talking to one of them and was onto them and I guess the mod just wanted to let me know I wasn't wrong.

I trust you explicity; I know very little about how this stuff works.

But I have seen quite a few posters post to themselves and ask a question and later on the question gets answered by their other screen name.

BTW, is it "zygote" or "xygote"?

Grin...it's zygote, which is defined as multiple AI alumni who are releasing albums in the fall (true). Snicker...

No, a zygote is a cell formed by the union of two gametes. Now don't ask me to define gametes. LOL!

Hi, Purple. I never found the name of that pretty bird the other day although I did look through our bird book.

Mr. P just told me it's thundering and lightening out so I'm turning off the computer for a while.

The poster I was discussing used a form of discourse that I had seen before with another poster who was banned.

I think I will go back and look at those posts and see if my sspicions are justified. If so, I will ping the moderator.

Oops--my fault. I forgot to tell you to remove the space between < and font. I had to put a space there (and in between < and /font) so the code would show in the post.

Sorry :)

The poor boy's zygotes were coming unglued, jonny. :)

My suggestion is (FWIW), that we/you go ahead and notify the mods of your suspicions (and give our names as back-ups), and give him/her the documentation you gave us here, and see what happens.

You're a really nice guy, so I'm sure you will do it sweetly, as always.

Probably best not to have ME do it. ;)

No matter what, it's up to you whether you do it or not. I happen to think it's worth a try.

He's been going at me at the end of the thread, Miss Marple.

I think his behavior is beyond curious......and I really do doubt that he's telling the truth about anything.

I'll have to pay attention to things like this more carefully in the future.

Me too. If it hadn't been for the information you and Wolfstar provided then I would've just assumed that these were two different people posting similar comments.

I'm more watchful (paranoid) now :)

I got a good dose of 'ugly' today.

It makes sense to me, though, that a thread about saving the lives of the unborn would be the target of trolls.

There is no more important goal of the left than the continued murder of unborn babies. The President struck a nerve with his veto yesterday, and even more with his strong words in defense of the sanctity of life.

That's what I get for opening my big mouth :)

If you think that's the best thing to do (you all have been here longer than I have and you know what works and what doesn't), then I'll do my part.
