I've been called a troll on this forum before. I took it as a compliment and gave them more of it. :P

We all use different methods to oppose trolls.

Its not the government.

Its the paranoids.

There is global conspiracy of paranoids. And they are all out to get the OP.

There is one user I thought was a "government troll".

He admitted he worked for the Democratic party previously.
He seemed to be a die hard Democrat, despite reason.
He admitted at one point that he was creating anti-Republican/anti-"right wing" topics on PPR to "make people think", and not really have a discussion. One of the moderators called him out on this.
He was creating many topics per week, however, after the Republicans won the last election, he has barely posted.

If there can be "democratic" government trolls, stands to reason, there might also be "republican" government trolls. Right???

If there's anyone from the government reading this, feel free to send me a few dollars. I won't object.

Does the Federal Bureau of Trollery pay well? Coz I gotta say the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy has been very very sketchy when it comes to actually getting a check in the mail. And when one does come I'm lucky if it doesn't bounce. :-|

I imagine the first one would be ok...but who determines who's a useful idiot or not. Left wingers could easily blanket generalize all right wingers as useful idiots and vice versa, ect, ect....so the latter is just to general/vague as well as opinion based whilst the first would certainly be reason for concern.

Rogue-Government does not need to pay its minions when it can just use technology such as psycho-tronics.

Strictly mercenary myself.

I only troll for the highest bidder.
