Or government grunt trolls have been lurkers here on ATS for years and are now being switched on.

They know that the people know too much now and they are all afraid.

"Government" trolls??

Come on.....actual government people would NOT be so obvious....I'm referring to those who are.......('obvious')....usually, kids.....Hey !! THAT is the 'nature' of the Internet, noways.

POINT IS: What to do about it???

I have questions....are there answers? I hope those 'smarter' than me might come up with some...answers......

....this is only my "quest"......

You now your paranoid when you think the Government even gives a toss enough to send "stooges" to derail a thread on ATS about a fuzzy pic or reptilian overlords...

BTW, that pic of yours is scary. Looks like Simon Cowel on steroids..

honestly, the trolls dont bother me

Yes, "HomerinNC"...you are a member of ATS that I have learned to respect.....BUT...

.....when trolls DISRUPT a thread....OK, it's then up to the Staff, I know, I know.....but 'some' trolls are so clever, they learn to sift through the T&Cs......in a way that.....the stafff "cannot" slam the "Ban Hammer" on them....THIS is what's frustrating.....oh, wait...THAT is what the trolls "want"!!

(lol)..
OK....done here.

EXCEPT...once more, "Majic's take on "trolls":

www.abovetopsecret.com...

"Don't 'feed' them....)....just refer back to the THREAD by Super-MOd 'Majic"....'nuff said.


(and sorry :'Majic' ....your are not just a "SUPER-MOD"....you are an "ADMINISTRATOR....so, my apologies for not recognizing that, right off!!



(PS..and NO!! I am NOT kissing anyone's....well you know!!! I'm NOT!!)

I'm not paranoid. I just know that I've seen such a huge amount of effort put into derailments. The kind of effort that an ordinary Joe Citizen wouldn't bother putting into trolling. A site like ATS is a threat to TPTB because it wakes people up.

Yes, the guy in my avatar is the result of Lou Ferrigno's DNA being mixed with Simon Cowell's. He can rip a phone book in half AND talent scout like a beast.

edit on Thu 26 April 2012 by ProudBird because: (no reason given)

Could we get an example of what
this means? I do not want to get *trolled*.
I have noticed people trying to make
threads off the topic, does that make
a troll? examples please examples

They're taking you for a ride because you responded in all sincerity.
