Knowing Trolls By The Company They Keep
Any blog with an audience as diverse as The Moderate Voice is sure to have a few right-of-center trolls lurking under the bridge who rush out and kneecap any commentator with whom they disagree before rushing back to hide in the shadows and nibble on their stash of Gramm crackers.
In a spare moment, I reviewed the comments from this crowd — they know who they are, eh AR? — over the past four days and was shocked, just shocked, to discover that of the 67 comments from trolls in response to my nattering, 60 were devoid of content save for Rovian ad hominem attacks.
Thanks, guys, for your determined efforts to drag the level of discourse down into the shadows under your bridge.

i for one, would like to apologize for any unnecessarily acid comments or replies i may have left here. personally, i like the mix of views, left and right; i was a reader here long before becoming a commenter.
i think, tho, that we will always see this kind of thing during electoral seasons: just as many sports fan come to cheer on their team, many folks who are typically uninterested in politics come out of the woodwork, and, unfortunately, very few of the part-timers have any real clue as to the “facts” they are “cheering”.
I would agree we have issues with trolls from time to time but would not limit them to one particular partisan viewpoint.
We've got many many wonderful posters from the left and the right.
We've got a few trolls, also from both the left and the right.
