For me it's unhealthy to get too enmeshed with ILX, as I'd get nowt done, and worry about stuff that i can't do anything about. I haven't really noticed any trolls except obvious crackpot , but I only read 1 in 5 threads anyway.
I'm making a conscious to decision to post less and not worry about *keeping up*, whilst (despite shoddy non-appearence this week) going to more ILX piss-ups. People and beer are better than poxy message boards.

My moneys on old Mr Ewing who hangs around the abandoned greenspun server.
Sorry, lame but irresistible.

Just to clarify that I'm *not* a troll I am the poster formerly known as Samantha, duh. During a ILE IM chat I latched on to the idea of just calling myself by a letter, ala Mr. Dastoor. I thought it was fancy.

Ned, a troll? That explains a lot;>
But seriously, Tom, I can't always post a lot either. And when I do, I occasionally enjoy goofing around (see above comment). But, from what I've seen, ILM/E thrives on the strange questions....as well as the serious ones.
I try to only post when I've got summat to say about a particular subject, but it's not easy to resist the pull when you are "surrounded" by talkers. In fact, that's what makes it fun.
Why not think of it this way: we outnumber the "trolls" 100 to 1.

curious if anyone else has ever noticed a pattern of one troll camping out at a site for years on end (besides me ha ha). there's a dude at 'new york' magazine who derails almost every discussion of jonathan chait's blog posts i've seen whenever i'm bored enough to venture below, and check out the comment section. however paranoid it sounds i can't help wondering how many (if any) perpetual trolls are paid moderators on big and big-ish media sites, baiting traffic?
