Trolls in Disguise.....we know you're out there
Lately I can't help but notice how ingenious troll-ups have become, they seem to mingle quite well, critising, misrepresenting, misleading.....hhmmm REVERSE SPINNOLOGY. I must admit it's real clever of them. I have a BIG nose, and I can smell stench in the air. I hate all you TROLLS out there and if you think you're gonna get away with this think again, trying hard to disrupt the process.

Whenever there's an upsurge in troll activity
like there's been over the past few days, I always know DU is on a roll about something, although I can't always figure out what it is. They tend to crawl out from under their rocks when something threatens BushCo or the DLC. What is this time? The Feingold resolution? The fact that we're so pissed off at the Dems for their spinelessness?

23. Usually a missive influx of trolls
and those in hiding come out of the closet when the "serial drug abusing, thrice divorced family values paragon of virtue, propagandist-in-chief Limpballs" mentions DU on his train-wreck of a show.

I swear, he must have piano wire wrapped around their testicles. He pulls them in one direction, and they follow like sheep. He's leading them to the slaughter this November, and he doesn't even know it.

8. Hi 440
Edited on Fri Mar-17-06 02:35 AM by col_klink
I've noticed the same thing. There are two sorts of trolls, those with a post count >1000 and those with less. This correlates strongly with all DUers also. I suspect that there are no REAL DUers, just trolls.

edit: removed inabiltity to do the "evilgrin' icon.

15. Who cares?
I'm a troll over in Freeperville. Now if only I can bite my tongue long enough for the elections and some (hopefully) serious schadenfreude. I've been kicked off there before. It's hard being a troll in the Totalitarian State Of Wingnuttia.

18. I encourage trolls...
there are always trolls and always will be. It's fun to do a little troll ass kicking from time to time.

Besides, keeping them out is like expecting repukes to tell the truth. Ain't gonna happen.

That's why I posted THIS:

An Open Letter To Freepers: You Really Are Utter Scum
Posted by cali
Sat Mar 11th 2006, 04:17 PM
You have thread after thread on Tom Fox's death, and scarcely a kind or Christian remark to be found in the filth and name calling. You're not only scum, you're whited sepulchers and hypocrites of monumental proportion. You cluck over the language on DU, but make the most vile, racist remarks imaginable. You advocate slaughtering millions of people at the drop of a hat. You are what you accuse your enemies of being, but you're too stupid to see it. In fact, your stupidity is boundless. It always amuses me to read your comments about how stupid posters on DU are. The average poster here, compared to you lot, are symbols of towering intelligence. At the very least, DUers don't advocate mass murder- something you in your cesspool, do incessantly; all the while wailing about how the morning after pill slaughters an innocent baby. What ignorance. What puerile shit.
I've noticed you have few threads about the corrupt and disastrous administration. There are plenty of stories. Must be hard work avoiding reality. Threads denigrating Tom Fox? In abundance. Threads about Claude Allen, until a month ago, bushboy's top domestic adviser? Not so much. Threads about bushyboy's miserable polls? All the polls are rigged, you whine. Iraq? Everything's going great. Pretty hard to keep that fiction going, you fools.
I despise you. You may have disagreed with what Tom Fox stood for, with what he said and did, but he had the courage of his convictions. And what's the best thing any of you can say about him? That he was a fool and deserved the brutal end he met. And most of you said things that were far, far worse than that. You sit at your computers and have the unmitigated gall to cast stones at Tom
Fox. You are filthy cowards.
Yours in disgust and loathing
Cali

PS, I'm sick of McCarthy like troll hunting posts. That doesn't make me a troll, as is obvious from the above, unless you're so demented that you think a troll could have, or would have, produced such a screed.

16. Sing to them...music soothes the savage bots...
"Let the Exxon soar,

Like profits never soared before.

From oil soaked coasts straight to your Exxon store,

Let the mighty Exxon's prices soar.

Soar with flapping of her corporate wings,

As the land beneath her stinks:

'Only Crude George, no other kings.'

This country’s just about sucked dry.

We’ve still got a lot of drilling to do to you,

And we can take all your money if we try.

Built by all the oil and struggles

King G W Crude has led us to."

26. You Must be a Troll
:sarcasm:

Read some more. There is no "seamless meshing automized blending with the majority" on this site.

I have great respect for our MODs, because trying to control independent thought on DU would be like trying to herd cats. That's why they don't do that. You'll find different opinions and approaches and thoughts about just about any topic.

About the only thing that I think everyone on DU agrees on is that

- we love our country
- we want to restore it's greatness
- we strongly believe that the Repukes are taking America over the cliff
and
- we want to restore the Constitutional Freedoms the Repukes have stolen from America in the last decade.

I'm sure some DUer's would disagree with me on that....:smile:

24. I don't really mind the trolls
Edited on Fri Mar-17-06 09:19 AM by Toots
They participate and who knows may actually learn some truth. I am sure they initially come here with the intent to disrupt and "know the enemy" but pretty soon the truth just envelopes them and they lose all sense of who they once were. DU can serve a nobel purpose besides just being a chat room type environment. It can serve as an education center for those that have been drinking the kool-aid for so long. Some may never accept or admit their side is basically anti-American but a lot will see the light. The longer they stay here and try and blend in the more the truth will penetrate. The disruptors are soon tombstoned so they don't cause much disruption and the ones in deep cover well some will benefit.. just my $.02 worth
