The troll’s strategy is to echo conservative ideas on every topic except one, maybe two. These one or two topics seem to be the targets. Apparently some trolls work as part of a group and are assigned these target issues by some sort of activist leader.
This explains why certain posters seem to be conservative and then come out with complete nonsense on a single issue. The pattern is clear.
I believe certain talk radio hosts play the same role. They sound absolutely convincing until they comment on one or two issues which appear to be their target. Todd Schnitt, whose show is based in Florida, fits this sort of profile.
“The troll’s strategy is to echo conservative ideas on every topic except one, maybe two.”
If that is the case, how can a person reliably differentiate between trolling and a difference of opinion?
Apparently, the birthers’ strategy is to label any difference of opinion as conspiratorial, one-issue trolling.
If you spent any time reviewing my posting history, you’d see that I don’t “echo” anyone’s opinion on anything. I have my own opinions, which I develop after careful research and much thought.
That birthers believe I and others who disagree with them are trolls clearly demonstrates a deficit in the skills of critical analysis and logical reasoning.
