I have, on occasion, misspelled things. The "Check Spelling" don't catch everything. And I am as liberal as they come.

Those that are coming in and are not concerned about rape or the victims. Many that have said things that says more or less "she go what she asked for". I have seen some of those. Then we have the over the top gun nuts as well. Basically, the amount of baiting being done by trolls. Let's face it they come in with ideas that support those ideas of the Conservative right and bigots, we come running to the fight. That is just what we do, or at lest what I do. I see a wrong, I want to right it. And there has been a lot of them blowing the whistle as of late. Why, I have no clue. They seem to like us jumping them.

some are pretty obvious. Not sure what we can do about them, tho.

Same thing with zombies of former DUers. We know they're everywhere. Often, we know exactly who they used to be. Are obligated to keep their secret, or should they be outed?

that you seemed to know they signed up as a sock or something.

Do you have access to secret files on folks here or something.

I often think you think anyone to the left of you is some kind of intruder.

But...if you have those files...you know me. No socks...no nothing. I was too technically illiterate to deal with that kind of stuff.

Just...it's interesting that you seem to know "everyone" and whatever interation they can devise to disguise or something.

Whatever....I guess you are a good troll hunter and for that provide a valuable service to DU in that capacity. If it floats your boat......it's good for you, I guess.

Plus...indeed there are truly some Trolls and such who pop up from time to time in waves..which need to be outed...but, sometimes there's "over-reach" in jumping to conclusions with perhaps some "inner bias" of seeing what might not be there. Just Saying....

I love it... He's not a very good whistle...

It's...can you tell me what he said?

Oh---can't watch the video---so tell me what he said....

My Cat needs to be fed....so can you tell me what he said...

Can you tell me where he factually went wrong.....

Fucking obvious as shit.

They're not supposed to be a piercing squealing sound that makes it obvious they're sounding a whistle. Should someone tell them they're doing it all wrong, or should we just continue to point and chuckle?

Think that might be included too. Dog Whistles that can attract another kind of Troll...

It goes both ways. Don't forget that it can.
