Some appear to have psychological problems of the personality disorder variety. Others do an amazingly convincing imitation of paid operatives. Some smell like Republicans.

They add nothing. Let's put them on ignore. If we ignore them, they get fewer "views" and less validation -- at least from us.

Granted, we then have blind spots on GD-P, and that could be a strategic disadvantage. If we could be aware of them without directly responding to them, perhaps that would work, providing they don't drive our blood pressure/stomach churnings up too high.

Maybe we need a strategy session on dealing with them?
