They are so cute with their little belly buttons and fluffy hair. Not like the nasty trolls on DU. The internet trolls are more like the mean ugly troll that lived under the bridge and threatened to eat all the Billy Goats Gruff. Until the Big Billy Goat Gruff kicked the troll's ass.

the only way now for mirt to catch these guys, unless their first few posts make it clear, is for them to get a hide.
with the jury system as f'ed up and misunderstood as it is, i have tried many times to get a hide on posts that make my spidey sense tingle. seasoned old mods and mirt alums know the tells. but try to tell that to a jury.

what goes on in the minds of people visiting pro-Clinton areas who don't support her. And not just her, but anyone else. I have no desire to post on any pro-Trump or pro-Sanders pages, or interact with the people there. I can't figure out if these trolls are getting paid and are being given orders, or if their lives are that empty. Yet I see RWers all the time on TPM's FB page as well as occasional Bernie trolls posting at TPV.
