I knew yesterday (Thursday) that Slagathor was a troll.

Every time he posted, he was trying to start a fight.

3. Just one amongst the legion.
They get themselves up to a listed 1000+ posts and pull the chocks.

I find it hard to believe that some of them are not being financially rewarded for their scabrous efforts.

4. What a waste of money that would be! But it's already a huge waste
of time for them. That's one thing I never understood about the RW; they'll invest SO MUCH time and money just doing all they can to make trouble for Left, while the Left has no interest in creating numerous attack emails, spreading invented scandals, or hanging out in Freeperland just to stir things up. We always have far more important things to do...but them again, we're employed and not living in our parent's basement.

14. We (the left) don't have to resort to these tactics.
All we need to do is truthfully report the state of economic and foreign affairs.

It's just too bad it takes eight to twelve years to sink in for some people...

6. You know, there are some people
who get themselves up to the 1000 by posting mainly to the Lounge. There is a diverse amount of subject matter there, and it's not like you can really give yourself away as something diametrically opposed to a Democrat's value system.

I find the Lounge far more daunting than GD. There seem to be a whole bunch of cliques, and even seasoned veterans like myself can find very little in the way of responses to some posts. At one point or another, I've pretty much given up on trying to get replies, even if the subject matter is provocative enough.

I'm not on 24/7 like I used to be right now, so I miss some of the excitement of finding trolls. I tend to question instead the absence of long time posters, because too many of those have moved on or become t'sed for something rather trivial.

We can't rely on the number of posts for an individual to decide whether someone is trolling--we are going to have to judge them on the quality of their posts outside of the Lounge.

11. Damn... I *really* wanted him to accept my offer to come try to "punch me in the face"
I think Bonobo was looking forward to it, too...

He'll be back... I've already nailed him down. He started out as "Zandor", then came back as "Basileus Basileon". SwampRat & I sniffed him out then. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2172493#2172755

He'll be back...

15. I saw that thread and immediately checked the profile for the TS.
What took so long? I'm all for a heated, intelligent argument, but dayum, that was a cry for intervention.

12. You need to be subtle if you are going to troll for the long haul.
