Re: Don't be silly.
a 'good troll' will find your IRL info and dox you, subscribe your IRL e-mail address to multiple irritating lists, use a dozen sock puppets to ridicule everything you say, try and crack your firewall, post your company info on a business review site and give you lousy ratings, and if they're REALLY good, sign you up for receiving lots of junk mail. And, subscribing you to dating sites for bizarre fetishes.
There are point assignments for each troll behavior. So a REALLY good troll will score you more points. Then you can compare with your friends, "my troll is better than your troll". Otherwise, they'd become boring, and you'd just stop feeding them...
'SWATting' has a negative point value. that's just lame.
anonymously e-mailing you a windows virus, when you're running Linux or *BSD, is an extra added bonus!

None of that is trolling. That's spoiled rotten teenagers being antisocial, subconsciously wishing their mummies would punish them for their bad behavio(u)r. Hormones are an ugly thing when held in close confinement.

Trust a troll? Everyone trusts Fox News,
Russian Trolls, or News people? Or Russian Agents?
Fox news has spread the gap between the people of the USA more than All the other troll factories combined.
I often wonder after catching a fox broadcast if they get two paychecks, one fromMurdoch and one from Putin? or Maybe they are combined prior to payday.
Maybe Putin owns stock in fox networks? Or maybe Putin funds the Murdoch empire.
either way, a troll is a troll is a troll.No matter who pays them.
Still very very few anti-Russian stories on fox, and very little stories that don't gush over the leaders of the USA and Soviet Union's budding bromance.

Reichstag fire
Why does this remind me of the Reichstag fire and false flag operations?

Re: Reichstag fire
The Russian population is in fact the primary target of the operation, and the operation's main objective is to discredit whatever passes as the Russian opposition to the regime. But if it burns down, not many will notice — it's not Reichstag by any means.
BTW and IMHO, the American election thing was done mostly for shits and giggles, the guys and gals didn't expect all the brouhaha and were really amazed how the Americans lost their shit about it.

No one should have been, the swamp people are hoping will be drained is the rising tide of the squits that's been festering for years now.

'Research'?
Well, that settles it. Any organisation that includes that word in it's name when it's not actually involved in STEM or medicine should probably be declared an illegal organisation and it's directors hunted to the ends of the earth.
Thankfully, Britain has no such charlatans, no siree....
