gods, i am sick of these damn trolls

[restorefreedom]

i go to reply to a snarky or insulting (about bernie) comment, and then notice the post count under 100 or even 20 with an account created two days ago

and fascinatingly, these types or posts / accounts only seem to attack bernie.

brock paying interns? if i were a hillary supporter, i would be upset at how my contribution was being spent

1. Yes, probably Brock trolls.

[Hydra]

2. Team Hill's sock patrol

Not that they don't work overtime on their main accounts as well.

[Uglystick]

3. I certainly am not one of the god damn trolls.

7. No, you don't conform to the pattern

Welcome and enjoy the ride.

9. no not at all, and your gif is awesome! nt

14. If anyone starts an argument, after 2 posts, just walk away. They are trying to goad you to get

an alert on you. That is their only game. Nothing will change their mind at all.

4. I have put about 65 ppl on 'Ignore' due to their claptrap.

I just started using 'Ignore' about a week ago.

5. Recently someone else noted that some of those trolls

have accounts that date back to 2012 or 2008, but with a relatively low post count. Apparently they created accounts during and earlier election year, posted crap, and then went away, only to come back.

I didn't used to care much about post counts, but these days I do notice them.

6. With the recent infestation, it's a good habit to get into.

Not a 100% sure thing, but there is a pattern. It does get my crap detector beeping.

8. restore - you and I have been here for over a decade….

I can't believe you ONLY noticed the new posters attacking Sanders. I have posted several times over the last 2 months about the MANY new posters whose ONLY purpose has been to frame attacks on HRC and her supporters and another set of posters who focus attacks only on Sanders and his supporters.

Fair is fair. All of DU is under GOP troll attack because they WANT us to feel attacked more by other Dems than by them. This is your THIRD primary cycle here - you should be familiar with their standard ops by now. You should also be well aware of the fact that this trolling operation is now being HEAVILY funded.

10. i don't always read threads concerning hillary

which could be why i didn't see your threads, esp,if any were in hillary group. but you are probably onto something. i came across (on another website) the comment that the trump rally brouhaha was actually fostered by romney operatives who are trying to take trump down AND blame bernie supporters at the same time....two for one

one thing for sure..,the ptb are not going away easy...

[blm]

11. LOL - I was one of the first ones blocked from HRC group, so there is no way

you could read anything I posted there. ; )

[restorefreedom]

12. one of the first? wow, i was in the four hundreds

in any event, i guess i didn't click on those particular threads. but yes, the operatives be busy and will continue to be through november.

[blm]

13. I work GOTV in a purple state and I am one of the Sanders supporters who will not

oblige the GOP strategists and further their attacks on HRC, just as I don't want HRC supporters furthering GOP attacks on Sanders. It is FAR too difficult in my state to overcome the disadvantages, so I am keenly aware of the value of EVERY vote in November.

22. thanks for all you do! nt

[LiberalArkie]

15. I am 329.

[blm]

16. How do you know what number you are?

I guess it's been so long I never bothered to look back.

[LiberalArkie]

17. Scroll down to blocked members.

18. i am #702

They didnt like it when i debunked them twice yesterday

[blm]

19. Hmmm…109…I didn't realize they had blocked so many before me. Or so many after.

I get why they are so sensitive there given the dynamics of the place, but, really, if Kerry supporters c2003-4could deal with the 'Dean' Underground and maintain a level of goodwill, then certainly the HRC supporters could do better at maintaining some level of goodwill with Sanders supporters.

Though, the GOP trolls posing as supporters of both candidates have infected this place far more than anything we saw in past primary battles. Still they should dial it back a bit on the sensitivity. It doesn't serve the party well, and that is what should matter as much to them as the rest of us.

21. :) i am in good company for sure! nt

20. Think about how they are wasting precious moments of their lives.

As we get older time becomes more precious. Someday they may self-reflect on how they could have been using their trolling time to do something decent or pleasurable, and by then it will be too late. They are not worth one moment of anger. Leaves falling from trees have more significance in my life than trolls - just my crazy opinion.
