Who are these people?
Not to echo Jerry Seinfeld, but there seem to be a lot of odd flame-bait and troll posts happening, from names I've never seen, but some with hundreds or even 1000+ posts.

Wonder if RimJob's crew is cracking accounts, maybe inactive members, and sock-puppeteering?

Or are things just getting weirder and weirder?

1. that 1000 post mark is not that hard to crack...
if they do simple response to every post imaginable. The stupid ones start inflammatory threads right off the bat and get their pizza, but the slightly less ignorant can manage to hang around.

3. Ya, I used to think 1,000 posts was a lot because I don't post regularly but there...
...have been a couple of people with 1,000 posts and I was like "Oh, who the hell are these people? I've never seen their handle before and yet they must've been here for a while."

Only to find out they'd just been padding and padding. One dude (?) got his 1,000 in just a few days and a big slab of granite about a week later- cause some bullshit doesn't fly nomatter what!

4. Disagree with ME? Unthinkable!
No, I realize that, and if everyone here agreed with me 100%, there wouldn't be much point in hanging around.

But there have been a lot more threads or comments that are straight from the Fox talking points, maybe phrased in the form of a question, that just seem intended to disrupt and draw fire, but the poster has a high post count and maybe shows being active for years. I guess there are a lot of explanations for this, but it just seems like a deluge of them in the past few days.
