Dang, it was fun trolling them too... But you're right. We have to be strong and be better than that. I've said before that I'll try then some days it just seems so easy to troll. I used to be a troll back in my day as a teen. I was good at it, plus I only targeted bad people. But who am I judge whether someone is bad or just misinformed? Maybe some of them actually believe the lies against Patriots like us.
Any way, I think it's important we hold each other accountable to this. Especially hold me to it, because I don't want to be that kind of person who misjudges people and trolls them.
As cool as it would be, as much as Trump has presented the Resolute Desk (twice), as much as I dig Vincent Fuca Twitter, until the dude is presented publicly, R is irrelevant. He'll, until I hear WWG1WGA from Trump or some other sort of public and total acknowledgement, I'm a solid 65% on the Q train, even given all the mathematically impossible Proofs. Lived a life of being burned. No thanks.

I beg you to exercise this new found humility and reassess this issue.
I believe you are right that there are trolls around. (It's the internet).
However, these people you call shills (though they're not selling anything), or call other names, I put to you, are maybe nothing of the sort.
I often chime in with unorthodox views or unsanctioned positions. But I do it earnestly, in my search for truth, which is what I, and many others value from communities like this.
The response I often get, as you are aware, is close-minded, and presumptuous.
I put it to you...
What if these people are genuine folks, looking for answers? In all honesty, how could you know they are not?
There are, it seems to me, four ways you could deal with these so called "shills" (trolls, in my opinion):
** If they are trolls, it will delight and encourage them.
** If they are good people, it will put them off.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will bore them.
** If they are good people, it will disillusion them.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will make them laugh.
** If they are good people (and devout), they will feel ignored, diverted or hijacked from their genuine concerns.
** If they are good people (and irreligious), it will annoy them, and put them off.
** If they are shills, it will not deter them.
** If they are trolls, it will bore them.
** If they are good people, they will feel welcomed, and the community would potentially benefit from an enrichment of new ideas and perspectives.
** If they are shills, their claims and attempts at manipulation will be show to be faulty through argumentation and fail to hold up to scrutiny, thereby nullifying their effectiveness.
If we are here for answers, and if we are here for truth, then this is how we should proceed.
Please reconsider.
Thanks.
