New Hope with Inundation of new Trolls.

Looks like we need a Trollhunter General! But seriously, the best way to deal with real trolls is ignore them (and report them if necessary, and let the mods deal with it). Argumentative supporters of other candidates are not trolls, they are trying to do what everyone here is doing - argue for their candidate, however misguided Paul supporters may consider them. Real trolls don't debate, they just post malicious comments, misrepresentations, etc, and never engage in discussion, like an idiot did over on the RP2012 Fb page. Just ignore them. It should be a standard rule: Do Not Feed The Trolls With Attention.

There were some good ones in 08 like Slapshot, etc but mostly today it's just people you don't agree with or aren't very informed.

Like if I say, "Hey Ron Paul can't win with stealth delegates alone" then I'm auto-targeted as a troll by the blind zealots who worship Paul. Plus when I called it early and said there would vote fraud and Paul wasn't going to win states without countermeasures = more blind down-voting.

So really, most people you call 'trolls' are just pragmatic.

I remember in a recent video thread people were calling Kokesh a 'nobody-troll' for doing an interview that doubted Ron Paul's victory.

Seriously, most of the people on this site aren't half the patriot Kokesh is.

I was just replying to one of 'em who claimed that the "best realistic scenario for Paul, was a Romney/Paul ticket". To his credit, he did remove the post, though maybe it was from all the negative replies he was receiving :D

Well, here's my reply so 1; It won't go to waste ;P And 2; For those that might actually contemplate any of these detrimental ideas.

"Although I appreciate debate, I can't help but think you're a spy for the GOP/Romney camp. It's pretty obvious from the most recent debates and interviews, how the other candidates have started to suck up somewhat to Dr. Paul, and we all know their real motives for doing so. Remember, you're talking to Ron Paul supporters here, not sheeple, so YOU HAVE TO make sense. Although I can't blame you for trying. Hopefully your intentions were honest, and not to toot my own horn, have a read here:

Your post is one of the reasons I'm glad I wrote what I did. C'mon man, I thought you were full of good ideas?"

Obama's internet thugs could be here. They are not too bright.
Kos gets around too. Both they and the Democratic underground are very foul.
There are also bots, usually government/alphabet agencies. New tool they started using several months ago. One bot starts responding - usually sounds ignorant. As it gets responses, it learns the conversation. THen, it 'procreates', making it's very own sock puppets to talk with. It's very artificial, limited, conversation. Should be easy to pick out, most of the time.
BUT, these bots can sign up as a member when it's free, and use a handle. No joke.
