I used to love nothing more than a good afternoon spent trolling conspiracy theory, new age and Republican 'fringe' websites. Sometimes, when the mood struck me, I'd do some real life trolling (not of the sexual kind, mind you) and regale and agitate some of my more unhinged acquaintances. Life in the 605 surrounded by Republican nutjobs has its perks.

But recently that's all changed. I just don't find enjoyment in it anymore. Maybe it's because the crazy conservatives have become a little -too- crazy or maybe I'm feeling a little guilty egging some of the woo-woos on with stories of reptilian aliens building armies underneath Salt Lake City, or being visited by Tibetan monks in spectral spaceships, or Obama being a time traveling demon, and reading their crazed, sincere reactions.

Being a troll on conspiracy or occult related fringe websites is actually pretty fun. I love the creativity involved in the raconteuring. But I guess I need to move on, so...

I've got a new goal in mind: debunking all these lies (whether harmless woo or dangerous Birther BS)
wherever I find them.

Will I be hailed as a 'disinformation agent' working for THEM (the NWO/Obama/the Cryptocommunists/Satan/The Reptilians) to suppress the truth? Probably. But I guess it'll be worth it to see if I can reach even just one rational person.
