Yes, this a controversial issue. Skepticism is to be expected and is warranted. Researching a poster’s comment history (and in context) is a excellent advice, but that doesn’t happen all that often. Sure y’all have reviewed some posting histories and make correct assessments, but y’all have also failed to review posting histories and made inaccurate assessments. Thus the mods’ admonishments that “hollering troll is old.”
That’s really rich, coming from you.
Teach us how to detect a troll, O wise one!
/like people can’t see exactly what you are.
I was speaking about the importance of gauging
the overall reliability and trustworthiness of
those who continually discount the eligibility
issue, spend the huge % of their time on FR on
those threads, and generally create dissension,
confusion, and cunningly spread disinformation.
They are rightly entitled to be suspected of
being lib/Obama paid or volunteer trolls, and
they’re worse than loathsome.
I never mentioned the mods ... interesting.
