One thing I will say, is we need to be very cautious of "outsiders" labeling FReepers as trolls. Especially other sites that may have motives like stealing FR "market share," or undermining FR solidarity. I know a lot of folks look at this forum almost like a second home because they are around like minded individuals wheneven blood family may be leftist moonbats.

The Viking Kitties are usually pretty good at spotting trolls and sending them to their zot.

We need to ensure of the threat before jumping to judgement. Some folks are more conservative on issues than others; some may have a few pet issues where they start to relax on (not necasarily a leftist bent).

We have enough conspiracies that float around and need to be filtered out. The last thing we need is for infiltrators manipulating us to eat our own.

I will note that CoC did show up to this thread in his defense, whereas IMO a true troll would cut their loss and move onto another screen name.

Be that as it may, I'm not a VK; but there are few "questionable" posts in his history.

Not true. A really good troll doesn’t want to lose that seniority and longevity. Then he has to do it all over again. A good troll will usually try to convince them that he is not a troll. Search for internet trolls. You’ll find some really interesting things you never knew about ‘trolls’.
I’ve told this story before but I will repeat it. Last year I was on You Tube posting parts of the death care bill in the comments sections of the videos. The Obots were out in full force. I hadn’t seen them that rabid since prior to the election. A couple of them were working this one video on health care that was on fire. Comments were fast and furious. After a while, I called one of them out. I got the impression this one was young and not that experienced.... just kept posting the same few things over and over. The response was something close to “ Hey don’t yell at me, I’m just doing my job that I am paid to do. They give it to me, I post it on You Tube video comments sections, I don’t even know what it all means”. I asked who is they, who pays you, never got an answer.
